    The Challenge

    -----

    There’s no better way to celebrate a birthday than with a funky foil birthday invitation and a whole lot of colour. Get creative with your colour combinations: black, dark blue, kraft or white paper, paired with black, silver, gold, rose gold, copper, green, blue, red or pink foil. Design two birthday invitations that pop, and we’ll pick our favourites to be listed for sale on Paperlust.
