Celebrate Pink!

Hi and welcome!  Today's card is a celebration of pink - appropriate given the month we're in:)

I used the colors from ColourQ, plus the cue words from CASology (splatter), Addicted to CAS (stencil) and JUGS (celebrate) to come up with this card:

I positioned the Tim Holtz Splatters stencil onto a white card base and then masked off some of the smaller splatters to try and keep the card cleaner.  I then sponged Spun Sugar over all the splatters, before bringing in some Worn Lipstick then Picked Raspberry just from the edges to create a softer effect in the center.

The sentiment comes from an older Stampin' Up set called Celebrate Everything. I just love the font of the word "celebrate" and I embossed that with pewter embossing powder, then stamped the word "today" underneath and to the right.

The observant among you will note that I talked about a white card base up above.  Yep, this was intended to be a one-layer card, but I sponged the splatter too high up and it just looked a bit off-kilter, so I cut the card base up and layered it onto a black card base.  Much easier on the eye :)

Lastly, a huge congrats to Arielle and the team at ColourQ for keeping this awesome challenge going for five years!  What an accomplishment!
