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!

Big Wow Here!!..I love this little house mouse and the way you just dumped some beads on the icing....just fabulous....whenever I dump things on something it never looks this good.....
Wonderful sense of humor AND design talent!! Was it intentional to use the stripes that mimic bars in a jail cell?? How clever! Not to mention the little beads you sprinkled on! Absolutely adorable card and so unique!

I LOVE THIS!!! Deborah, this is so adorable! I love the bead sprinkles on the doughnut, such a clever idea. Your title gave me such a good laugh, as did your story. I'm sure your BIL will get a good laugh out of this cute little guy!
