Bear Hugs & Donuts

Happy Wednesday!

After making this card yesterday I'm actually craving doughnuts!  I must admit I'm not so fond of the colourful glazed ones but am definitely partial to a sugared one.  How about you?

I've had a doughnut card in my head for a long time as I wanted to incorporate the stamped bear holding the doughnut.  The bear and doughnut were coloured with my Chameleon pens and I added some glossy accents to the little doughnut to add a sheen.

I bought the Splish Splash stencil from the new release last week as I thought it would be versatile and it is!  I used it to ink through my doughnut with the stencil and distress oxide ink that started reacting in the heat so I got quite a realistic glaze!  I added Tonic Nuvo drops for sprinkles.  Distress oxide inks work really well on coloured cardstock as the ink sits on the card as opposed to getting absorbed into it like with Distress inks.

I hope you enjoyed this post and see you again later on in the week!
