My card project today features the new Sweet Treats bundle. This set contains the sweetest images and while I love to color with my markers, I fell in love with the fact that this set has a coordinating stencil to color in the images!

I have a video tutorial creating this card that you can find down below or HERE on my Youtube channel

When it comes to coloring stencils, I find ink cubes work the best along with small and detail blending brushes.

I used a variety of Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks for my images.

A color combination I stumbled upon while coloring in the images is Cheeky and Cherry so I thought I would use it for my background.

When doing backgrounds, I like to use a large blending brush as it covers more ground.

I added detail to the sprinkles of the cupcakes using glossy accents and prisma glitter.

And a few white gel highlights make the colors just pop!

The sweetest card without the cavities!

Now how about a giveaway?
