Instructions:

1. Cover the cardstock with adhesive – xyron or double-sided sticky paper works best.
    
2. Flatten out the tin foil and lay the cardstock adhesive side down.
    
3. Tear off the excess around the edges.
    
4. Make small puddles of alcohol ink on the felt applicator – not on top of each other but they can touch.
    
5. Add 2 drops of metallic mixative (optional).
    
6. Begin pouncing the applicator tool around the tin foil. Vary the tool by twisting different ways.
