Hello friends!! Welcome to day 3 of our super special 3 way hop between us here @ UmWowStudio and the fabulous teams of May Arts Ribbon and Avery Elle.

All week long we'll be sharing projects from our teams using amazing products by all 3 companies. And it never hurts to encourage a little fan participate by having a GIVEAWAY! So be sure to stop by each day this week, all three blogs, comment on the posts, and be entered to win! We have three fabulous prizes, one from each blog. Three random winners will receive 1 spool of ribbon, 1 stamp set, and 1 prize pack from UmWowStudio that includes chipboard, a mask, and flair!
(this prize is open all weekend long. Winners announced next week!)


Today we have Miae up:

UWS products:

Ray Background chippie

Wild Flower set flair

Avery Elle 'Bright Days' set

May Arts  Pink Waxed Cord, and Webbed Weave Ribbon 

I altered the UWS Ray chipboard with gesso, Kroma crackle medium, color shine and PearlEx powders.

I used the AE sunburst stamp all over the background, then used the MA Webbed Weave Ribbon as a stencil with high gloss gel medium. I also made my own "enamel dots" by stamping with the small AE circle in pink then covering the dots with Glossy Accents. Then I outlined the pink circles with MA Pink Waxed Cord ribbon.

The final touches to the page were the AE chevron arrows and UWS Wild Flower flair.

Now don't forget to stop by and see the inspiration @ May Arts and Avery Elle today!Comment all week long to enter to win!
