May Arts:: Art Anthology & Basically Bare


May Arts has teamed up with two fabulous companies: Art Anthology and Basically Bare and we are coming your way with a week long hop full of inspiration!


I have a clean and simple card today, my favorite kind to make1 I started with the cool, old fashioned bare chipboard key from Basically Bare then added Art Anthology's Lava Dimensional Medium, which is a perfect combination! Once the key dried, I tied May Art's Burlap String in Ivory (SM-09) around the key in a bow and adhered behind the key a strip of May Art's 4" Wired Burlap in Natural (398-4-02) I then adhered this piece to a card base stamped with a sentiment and will be sending it over to my cousin who just bought a new home!

I really love the mixings of the products from these three companies, it is a match made in heaven! I hope you find yourself inspired too.
