Clear It Out ~ DT card

This is my very first Design Team card for Clear It Out challenges. Yippee Skippee! (If you didn't hear the news about my new DT position then you can read all about it here.)

We were challenged to make a card using our own inspiration (a photo, person, colour palette, etc).  And since Clear It Out is all about helping us use up our craft stash we're asking that you use "something glittery".  Finding something glittery in my stash was not a problem at all since I'm a hoarder  uh I mean collector of all things glittery.  LOL  I've used that cute little birdie sitting on the fence.  He's a part of some K&Co. grand adhesions that I've had forever and a day.  Sound familiar?  LOL

I chose the picture below for my inspiration. I found it while googling "color inspiration boards".  I thought the colors were so pretty & fresh. I originally hadn't planned on using the grass, sky & fence for my card.  That just happened as I was designing the card.  Sort of a  "happy accident" I guess you could call it.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Bugaboo Digi Stamps.  I used the adorable digital image called "Ava and Deacon Love Word".  You can find it HERE.  Bugaboo is offering the randomly chosen winner of the challenge 7 free Bugaboo digis.  How cool is that!

This Anniversary card is for a special couple but I can't tell you who it's for yet until after they have received it.  Sssshhhhh.......mum's the word.  ('course if you live across the pond 'mum' has a totally different meaning.  LOL)

You'll notice that I've made another little stick pin & used an envelope punch that I've had a long time.  I made a little note for the happy couple with a Nestie die & added a little ribbon 'pull' so they can see their names below the "Happy Anniversary" (no fair peeking.......I hid it pretty well.....lol).

So please head on over to the Clear It Out challenge blog & use your own inspiration to create a card.  And don't forget to add 'something glittery' from your craft stash.   If you're like me you have a TON of glittery things to choose from.
