I like to use tin tape because it has a strong adhesive that I can apply directly to 110lb cardstock. If I'm using aluminum foil, I use a good quality glue like Art Glitter glue, but any PVA or wood glue will also work.

It isn't necessary. The alcohol inks won't chip off or move. If you're going to have your piece in a very bright area I would consider using a UV spray. I love alcohol inks but they aren't nearly as lightfast as acrylic paints.
The cards are beautiful!
Thank you!
Thank you. Using the brush on top of colour was exactly what I wanted to see 👍🏽
You're welcome, I'm so glad that you found this video helpful and useful. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful ideas. I can't wait to try it myself. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. I hope that you give this a try, it's so fun! Thanks for watching!
I've found it easiest to just tape the foil to the back of the cardstock....folds beautifully, then tape. Done.
Good tip about using iso alcohol!
Oh nice! I didn’t even think of that! Thanks for sharing!
Nice! I watched a video where they used metals (paperclip, washer, etc) under the foil creating embossed effect on the foil.
Thank you! Wow, that's a brilliant idea, I'm going to have to try that myself. Thanks for sharing such a great tip!
How do you adhere the foil to 110# cardstock? What kind of glue do you have to use to get it to stick onto the cardstock really good?

Can and should you seal the surface?
