I Love Donuts

I have really been loving that donuts have been a new theme showing-up in papercrafting ... because seriously, I love donuts.  

I have such fond memories of Dad taking my brother and me to the Daylight Donut Shop for breakfast ... and the agonizing decision between a bear claw, cinnamon swirl, or the delicious cherry, orange or blueberry cake donuts.  My brother usually chose the maple long john (no maple for me) or a twist ... always with a tiny carton of ice cold milk.

I looked at several Donut Stamp Sets (Lil' Inker Eat More Donuts, Reverse Confetti Donut You Know), but ultimately the sentiments won me over in Simon Says Stamp I Love Donuts ... especially the one on my card (although I wish it included a jelly donut shape ... may have to try to make my own).

I stamped my donuts in Dark Brown ink on Kraft Cardstock and clear embossed.  I used Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils to create my cherry frosting (36, 37 & 42).  After coloring, I stamped the sprinkles and added Spica Glitter Pen for a bit of sparkle.

My design was inspired by the colors and shapes in this week's Just Us Girls Challenge using swirly cardstock from Studio Calico and the back of a Piece of Core'dinations Pink Whitewash Cardstock.

The layout is the Sweet Sunday Sketch.

And I'm linking-up at the Anything Goes Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
