2. Adding heat foil to light cardstock for amazing shine. This requires special equipment. Then you can try alcohol ink markers for accents.
3. Adding spots of liquid alcohol ink to yupo paper (and alternatives) to make ethereal bubbles or clouds . We’ll even try out a “remove” technique to take away some ink and leave behind a pattern.
