Week 5-Wild Card (a surprise!)

This month we are thrilled to welcome Bev Katsman Buenker as our Featured Designer!

"I'm Bev, and have the blog Happy Dance. I've been paper crafting for over 20 years, and while I have three more scrapbooks to make (and then I'm done forever), most of my time in the craft room is devoted to cardmaking. I've been retired for nearly three years, and stay pretty close to home and the DH who needs a little extra help these days. We're very blessed with a large family, and have twenty grandchildren spread out in age ranges and distances, whom we dearly love. Our home sits atop a bluff just three houses away from Lake Michigan in Southeastern Wisconsin. I love making cards, and tend to like a more Clean and Layered style, but am game to get out of my comfort zone every now and then. It's been a delight to meet and make new friends here in blogland, and I've actually been lucky enough to have met a few of you in person; what a delight!! Life is good, happy dances everyone!"

Isn't Bev's card delightful! Welcome, Bev!

For my card, I decided to make a sympathy card. I used an Altenew image and combined it with a neutral backdrop. The flower is coloured with Copics. I punched out two butterflies to add to the side. I was drawn to neutral colours and design.

The design team have created some inspiration to get you in the crafting mood! Come and join us! Our weekly winner will be our next Guest Designer! So come and join the fun!
