The current Challenge at Seize the Birthday is to use your favorite technique. Seriously, how can I possibly pick just one … so I went with my current favorite technique that I'm enjoying and trying to master – hot foiling.
I foiled the Spellbinders Tis the Season String Lights background (I didn't even realize this was supposed to be a Christmas design … I think it looks like lights or banners at any fun birthday party) with gold foil on navy cardstock … I absolutely love the effect of foiling on colored cardstock.
I added a strip of gold glitter paper along the top and bottom and then attached my panel with foam tape. I combined a Taylored Expressions Simple Strips sentiment in navy ink with a sticker sentiment at the bottom.


Narrowing down a favorite technique is definitely not easy…I love that you chose the technique that you are crushing on at the moment. Love the gold banners on navy! Pretty card, Stef! I am still telling myself not to get into foiling but I am slowly being swayed to the dark side! LOL Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday!
Seems easy, but it is definitely difficult to pick just one technique!! I love what you’ve done with your current favorite. The look of the foil against the dark cardstock looks awesome! Thank you so much for joining us at the Seize the Birthday challenge with this smashing card!
