Inspired By #153 - melted snowman

 

Melted Snowman ... who among us hasn't chuckled when spying the melted guy?  I sure have!

Here's my attempt to recreate the cutie cupcake in our IB153 photo inspiration - closeup first:

I was lucky to have these snowman embellishments in my stash.
I did a little 'melted-snow' comparison with a few products I
had to work with to create my cupcake's melted effects:

Please don't ask whose Puffy embossing powder this is - but, tell me,
who packages without labels?  Maybe it's a clue?

Doesn't he look as if he's watching his buttons slide off?  lol

Okay. Now it's your turn ... see you in the IB153 gallery?

Supplies:
EBE & C&9th collaboration set: Sweet Sprinkles stamps & dies 
PTI polka paper: Bitty Big- Soft Stone 
random Altenew die for branch-arms
Altenew:  Halftone Holidays  stamp/die combo for sentiment
W&W scalloped die [no longer available]
Random snowflake dies

Nothing like witnessing your own demise, poor fellow. Such a cute but sad card...again, sappy. But clever.

Oh how you think! There are days I feel like that melty snowman for sure! Totally fun card!

Lisa Elton said...

Yep, he's saying there goes another one! So clever Michele and so cute. He's a bit of a melty mess, but I would take a bite. Love that we both used those goodies you shared with me!

Marcia Hill said...

Melted or not, he's ADORABLE Michele! Cute, CUTE card!! :0)

I'm laughing because I've seen cupcakes like this (everything sliding off) at a summer picnic~

Kate said...

OMG - this is so clever! What an eye you must have!

Jeanne said...

Your humor is on full display here. Love the melty, but probably delicious, snowman cupcake, Michele. I wonder if your puffy stuff is from Stampin Up or Close to My Heart. I have a jar of prima glitter from CTMH that is not labeled. I bought it in the early 2000s. (Yeegads, I'm OLD). LOL

Bonnie said...

Love this snowman cupcake, Michele! Wonderful embellishments and he looks delightful against the soft gray polka dots!

Nora Noll said...

Oh my goodness!! This is so fun!! LOVE that sentiment. I am loving all the fun dies you used to create this fun little cup cake. Just fabulous!!

Rachelle Oltean said...

LOVE THIS! Yup - I've got that exact same "no-labeled" puffy powder (in the same container BTW) and I don't whose it is either! : ) This is such a great theme and your take is perfect!
Hu s- Rachelle : )

Barb Ghig said...

Yes, he does look as if he's watching his buttons slide off ~
You're a riot, Michele!!! I really love all the texture and details on this card...it's just so CUTE!!! Thanks for making me smile :)

Nancy Penir said...

Oh good golly, Michele, he's hilarious! Wherever did you find him? So perfect for the inspiration, and a timely reminder of the joy of the holiday season. Love you, love your jolly brain, and LOVE this card! (Actually love ALL your cards!) Hugs, sweet friend!
