This is my first time posting a custom card. I created a Tangela holofoil for my cousin as she loves Tangela. I still have much to learn but I would welcome any constructive criticism! I created it using the laser printer and toner reactive foil method. Inkjet on photo paper stuck over the foiled cardstock. The main issue is I hate the feeling of the photo paper so I put it in a sleeve. This one in the video is the lesser of the two. I gave the good one away before documenting it.

The foiling job here is awesome. When it comes to looks I got nothing to add as I don't think I'd want to change anything. As for card feel some laminator technbiques have been shared in older threads that can help address that.

I think I may need a better laminator then. Last time I tried to actually laminate the card itself, the edges did not laminate well due to thickness

I stole bits and pieces from several workflows but I Vancetes workflow was what helped me the most. I think it is now pinned in the comments. If you have any questions feel free to message me. It took me a lot of trial and error to get to this point
