To make this fabulous Epiphany Crafts/Maya Road Banner:
1.) First, mist all of your banner pieces to your liking.
2.) Paint a few random Maya Road wooden buttons.
3.) Paint some Maya Road chipboard words.
4.) Let the painted items dry. Gather the rest of your supplies… the rest is a breeze
Assembling the banner:
1.) Use one of the misted canvas album pieces. Adhere a background piece of patterned paper and a hand cut out heart. Place an Epiphany Crafts epoxy heart and Maya Road button on your banner piece with a sticker sentiment. Place a Maya Road pin in the heart through the canvas.
2.) Use another one of the misted canvas album pieces. Adhere another background piece of patterned paper and a cut down journal card. Using some of your pre-made painted Maya Road painted buttons and Epiphany Crafts epoxy stars, sporadically place them around your banner piece.
3.) Use another one of the misted canvas album pieces. Adhere another background piece of patterned paper to the canvas piece. Adhere a sticker element at the bottom with your chosen Maya Road chipboard phrase and Epiphany Crafts star epoxy.
4. Use another one of the misted canvas album pieces. Adhere another background piece of patterned paper and a cut down journal card. Using some of your pre-made painted Maya Road painted buttons and Epiphany Crafts epoxy stars, sporadically place them around your banner piece. Tie a piece of twine around a Maya Road leaf pin and place behind one of the epoxies.
5.) Use another one of the misted canvas album pieces. Adhere a background piece of patterned paper and a hand cut out heart. Place an Epiphany Crafts epoxy heart and Maya Road button on your banner piece with a sticker sentiment.
6.) Use seam binding or other ribbon to tie the canvas piece together making a banner.

Thanks for the love on the banner Samantha! Can’t wait to see your birthday banner
I love banners! great job and thanks for the idea (i have those canvas banners and haven’t done anything w/them – now I have and idea). Super, thanks.
Gasp Jackie!! You MUST use your Maya Road canvas banners!! They are so fun
i’ve always admired EC’s epoxy shape makers! Looks fun and definitely would be awesome to have one! Would be a great embelishment to any project.
My favorite project this week was the Trick or Treat Card by Audrey Pettit. I love Halloween and creating things for it and that card is so cute! My favorite tool is all of them. It’s just too hard to choose just one. I like Maya Road’s mists. Love the different looks they can add to things.
The projects I’ve seen have all been great (and EC and MR stuff really does work well together!), but I was at the Scrapbook Expo in St. Charles, IL, and was DROOLING over all the cool tools to make the epoxy accents!! SO MUCH FUN!! I have a particular weakness for epoxy!!
My budget was already blown, but I would love to win some great Epiphany Craft tool(s) and some epoxy blanks to go with them!! 
(I could have sat at your booth all day & made epoxy elements if you’d have let me!! It was fun even to watch!)
Thanks for the inspiration!! I have so many tools and embellies, I want to start using them so I can get more
Thanks for the chance

I love the pennant tool. I ran out and bought it as soon as it was released.
Cool banner and halloween card.
Great projects. My favorite tool is your button maker punch.
I have several of the epoxy punches and I’m very happy with them.

My favourite project of the week was the wreath with the stamps turned into epoxies, they look brilliant! On this post I love the banner, especially the heart in the ‘I love to make stuff’ title, as it looks cool with the patterned squares below the epoxy! x

Very nice for you to offer up a prize. I like the You are Cute layout with the stars and the wreath with the fabric flowers.

I’ve never thought of adding paper to canvas banners. I have some banner pieces, and will have to add some nice papers. Thanks.

Thanks Beatrice!! The banner was SO EASY to make! Can’t wait to see what you make…
Just realized that I did not answer the actual question! I live my EC pennant shape and would just love to get the star! All the projects this week were fantastic but Thienly’s wreath from the first day really made an impression and I am going to try my hand at it.
