Inspired By #169 - Spring is Sweet!

Okay who wants a cupcake?  OMG these are too pretty to eat!  and way off the charts extraordinary!

One in particular caught my eye - with the help of a friend, I had a few little blooms to help me create my Inspired By - Spring is Sweet card!  See if you can find it... here's a little closeup...

Those little Forget-me-nots from The Greetery came to me cut from wonderful white.

Here are the inks I used to bring them to life:

Do you have a favorite?  or do you fancy the whole bunch - my husband could eat every one!  Hope your favorite inspires you to come play at IB169 today!  Now let's go see what my teamies have baked up, shall we? ...

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?
