We are proud to announce two of our beautiful cards were named winners at the 2011 Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA) Gold Leaf Awards Competition.

This FSEA Gold Leaf Awards Competition is an exciting assembly of color, dimension and eye-catching effects representing the most electric works throughout the graphic arts industry.
