When you foil a regular die you will have thin lines foiled on the cardstock. You will also have the foil waste that can be adhered to cardstock. You never get as smooth and crisp of a foiling using the waste, but portions of it can be used. For the next several card I used both the foiled backgrounds and the waste.
This card used two different background dies. I decided to die cut candles using the Elizabeth Crafts Birthday Candles. Simon Says Stamp Big Mama Foam Tape was added to the back. I die cut the flames from glitter cardstock and adhered it to the top of each candle. Copic Markers were used to add shading to the flame.
The sentiment was stamped with Distress Oxide ink and then heat embossed clear. It was cut into a banner and foam tape was added to the back.
To add visual interest behind the candles a panel of white cardstock was down using a stitched rectangle and then embossed with the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday Folder. I decided to add a mat of teal cardstock, cut 1/8″ larger than the embossed panel. Sticky back foam was added to the back and it was then adhered to a top folding cardbase.
The candles and sentiment were adhered to the embossed panel by removing the paper from the foam tape and the card was done.
