Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #89, where our fabulous Guest Designer, Susanne, my amazing Design Team - Pia, Shauna, Sandie, Marina, Nonni, Shauna, Yvonne (our wonderful Kim is on vacation and having a most excellent time!) - and I, invite you to draw inspiration from this word prompt:
Today, I'm sharing a *melt* inspired twofer. First: a quadruple-scoops-with-hot-fudge-topping ice cream cone, that decided to pose twice, so you could see the sentiment, as well as the sparkles on the chocolate layer...
Second: my Purple Onion trio of snowmen, finally making their debut (bought them last Christmas and nearly forgot I had them! Sheesh!). By the way, did you know Purple Onion is having a 25% off sale? Just in case you need a shopping fix...
Yes, these snowy dudes need some shading, but until I figure out how to accomplish that with my Chameleon pens, they'll just have to remain as is...I'm working on it!
Please be sure to check out what Susanne and the DT have created; their cards are sure to 'melt' your heart and spark your imagination! Looking forward to visiting your interpretations in the gallery; the winner will be invited as a guest designer for a future challenge. Hope it's 'you'!

I'm licking my lips looking at that big ol ice cream cone! But those snowman just stole my heart. Could they be any cuter?! I highly doubt it.
Yum, your ice cream cone looks divine! The super cute snowman are just adorable! Gorgeous cards!
I just love that ice cream cone, looks so yummy. I can't see the second card on my iPad, will check it out later on my laptop x
Before I comment on your work, let me say a huge thank you for the heads up on my blog comment win! You are SO good to be on the look out and then let me know. Thank you! Big Hugs!! :D Your ice-cream card is scrumptious! A quadruple taste sensation capped with the lovely sprinkles on top! The colorful background also reminds me of the rainbow colored sprinkles. Yum! And then I see those delightful snowmen. Oh my, you've got the blending/shading down on those hats. And the scarves and the snow-capped trees. Your kindness and cards simply melt my heart! Hugs!
I choose the ice cream! Actually I and Pepsi sneaked down to the local Ice Cream house today when taking our long walk.....and I got just a tiny, tiny soft ice in waffle cone. I ate the ice cream and Pepsi the cone...win, win :D
Hmmm ... so tempting, Carol ... think I need an ice cream like that, topped with hot fudge and plenty of sprinkles ... it's delicious! Your carolling snowmen are just so adorable ... beautifully shaded and coloured ... and so sweet! Hugs, Anita :)
Two really sweet and gorgeous cards and yes, that ice cream looks good enough to eat.
Delicious ice cream cone card! Almost made one of those with an old stamp that I have never used! And your snowmen are adorable! What do you mean - the shading looks perfect!
And now I am off to eat some ice cream...
Cute just-my-size cone, c... and I've spent an inordinate amount of time at Purple Onion trying to tell myself I don't need EVERY one! You are not helping with this chorale trio!

Oh two of my favorite things, ice cream and snowmen!! Both of your cards are adorable Carol!! I am so in the mood for some cold snowman weather too! You're probably not quite ready for that up there, but it's been so hot here this summer. Beautiful coloring and die cutting on your cards today! Happy weekend!! :)
Ok, this is weird but... I'm coming to Canmore tomorrow (from Red Deer) to hike with a friend (you probably taught her son) and wondered if you would meet for coffee if you are around? Email me stampedgoods dot thisweek at gmail dot com stampedgoodsthisweek.blogspot.ca
Such a cute snowman set - love how you coloured them. As for the ice cream, you are now responsible for my mint chocolate chip craving which I can't fulfill because I am on a cleanse LOL!
Yummy ice cream card! Adorable snowmen too :)
Aww... two fantastic cards! The ice cream is so cute and perfect for the melt challenge! And I love that snowman image. They are so adorable! Beautiful work Carol!

Do you know what you just did? Yep, I now have a bowl of ice cream right beside me as I type this comment! Seriously yummy stuff.
Totally yummy card! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the sideways sentient - perfect with that nine million calorie treat!
Your snow people are so cute! Um....I'd say that these folks are sporting some mighty fine shading on their sweet ensembles! Seriously, great job coloring these wee snow folks!
Off to check out Purple Onion!
Sweet pair of cards and unlike Miss Geri, I do not have a bowl of ice cream right beside me, LOL
I love your yummy looking ice cream cone, almost makes me wish I liked the stuff.
Your snow people are just so adorable...too darn cute.
Oh, my. You are making me hungry with that amazing ice cream cone. Yum. and, those snowmen are just so very cute, and perfectly colored. I am very glad that those little guys are not your example of 'melt'
Not really ice cream weather here at the moment, but I have to say your one looks very good, Carol - the hot fudge topping really looks yummy!!! Love your interpretaion of 'melt' - so clever!!!
Your snowmen card is as cute, as the ice cream one!!! Lovely colouring!!!
Have a great week!!!!
Your first card is sooo sweet! Just look at that ice cream and chocolate!! Yum! And your second card is super cute!! Love the snowmen!
Yummo, that icecream looks delicious!! Especially all that chocolate sauce on top, perfection!! And I just love the Purple Onion stamps, they are the sweetest of the sweet and these snowman are such little cuties. Brilliant colouring too!! I even have an entry all ready to go for this challenge for once, not as pretty as these though!!
Nothing better with ice cream than fudge topping, virtual or not. ;) Love the yumminess of it, Carol. And those darling snow people. So cute.
2 fun cards, Carol--LOVE those snowmen & they look perfectly colored to me!
Love both cards, if you are struggling with the shading on the snowmen, I would be happy to help, just email me at blog.chameleonpens.com Hugs Cathy
Two adorable cards, Carol! Your ice cream cone looks good enough to eat! I love the fun colors and 'chocolate fudge' on top! And, those darling snowmen? Oh my gosh...they just couldn't be cuter! I'm loving how you colored them, and I think you're doing an amazing job with your pens!
C - these are awesomely cool cards for the cue word MELT - both things start out cool but when they heat up they turn into a gooey mess!! Both of these cards made me smile and fall in love with them!! They are well done and I think you are just a champion stamper and all the cards you create have a signature style!!! The colors and the coloring is awesome and I love the background that the ice cones are on!! Just super amazing and awesome cards made by incredible YOU!!!
Now that is one big ice cream! Love your pre-melted snowmen too :)
