This a card I've made for my brother in law of some 23 years. He is an Inspector with a large police force, but I love to kid him that he just eats doughnuts.. Thus I chose this House Mouse Image of a mouse eating his way through a doughnut.
I landed up colouring the icing pink because I thought chocolate wouldn't show up well, and green or blue icing seemed to gross. So - pink it was, and then I thought - why not add some fancy sprinkles??
So I put crystal effects all over the * icing * and dumped microbead on top for the sprinkles.
Fortunately my BIL is man enough for this fun card -and has a great sense of humour.
Thanks for looking!

My hubby was a cop for 18 years and that donut thing... yup... it's TRUE! They all seem to love 'em! Your card is delightful and funny and I'll be he gets a kick out of it, pink frosting and all! You could have added a few of your sprinkles into a corner or two as well... eating donuts with sprinkles is always messy, eh?!
