Sweet delights

There is popular and often repeated saying 'Life is better with donuts'. I don't necessarily agree, being more partial to salty liquorice myself, yet today I felt drawn to a couple challenges where I could live out some candy colors.

My all time favorite color combo is yellow with pink, the whole color range of hues ranging from bright to muted. I just find them so cheerful together. Today I picked small color cards in muted hues and partly with shiny finishes, and combined them with a bright yellow background. 


 

I also used different size circles dies. I don't own stamps or dies with 'sweets' motifs, but I figured with my collection of circle dies I should be able to produce some donuts.

In the end I used two irregular circles and one perfectly round one for the hole.

 

I am entering this in these following challenges that inspired me today:

Crafty Gals Corner: #278 Anything goes / Sweets for dad optional - I did go with the 'Sweets' for option, but since I am at the age where my dad is long deceased, this card will be for anyone 

Inspired by: #IB393 Inspired by... donuts - I went with the colors and the donuts

 

As You Like It: Favorite color combo - mine is yellow with pink 

Snippets Playground: #535 AG

Simon Says Monday challenge: Food and/ or drink 

 

ETA: After looking at the finished card for a few hours, I decided to add some Liquid pearl accents on each donut. This t5iny addition does make it look more finished.
