Foiled Rainbow Birthdays

I purchased some rainbow foil washi tape at Hobby Lobby last week...not your typical washi, but it intrigued me...and at 50%off...I couldn't resist.  I have made two very clean and simple birthday cards with my foil washi, using my favorite birthday sentiment die from Simon Says Stamp...

I lined up strips of the washi onto a thinner cardstock and then die cut the sentiment from the strips...I actually got two from the strips I laid down!!  I layered them three times for depth.  With the first card, I stamped and embossed, using my MISTI for placement the word "Happy" with versa mark and clear embossing powder.  I wanted the pretty "BIRTHDAY" to be the sole star of the show!!  Here's a pic of the washi and die cuts.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this washi, because it was SOOOO thin, but the colors are beautiful ...SO RAINBOWY, and the shine is wonderful...just takes a little more time to lay all the strips down.  I had to keep adding more, and more, and more, until there were enough to fit the length of the sentiment die!!  Here's a close up of the sentiment and the background stamping...

 For the second card, I chose to add a foil gold panel cardstock piece to the back of the card panel, along with a simple gold "HAPPY" right before the BIRTHDAY...

 I think the gold ties into the sentiment and gives it a more dressed up feel.  Here's a close up...

Ok...simply done...oh how I LOVE the white space of cards...these were such fun!!!

Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
