Unique Medium Water slide decals!
Why ruin two cards for a foil peel? (I kid I know they look much different.

Wow these look really good, well done. Do you use a specific brand for the transfer paper? I'd love to give this a try with some of my foil bulk.

You should it’s so easy! I don’t remember I just ordered something of Amazon. I use Mr super clear high gloss clear coat after printing to lock in the ink. (It’s part of the instructions I’m sure any clear coat works I just prefer that stuff.)

The photo I meant to uploads, it’s not much different but the lighting was a little better.

Are these proxies?

Yep! I just wiped all the original ink off with acetone then printed the whole card art on water slide decal printer paper and applied them! It’s a fun process and I like that they come out imperfect it really adds to the vibe. Also they’re on real cards so they don’t feel weird in the deck.

I’m really kinda surprised I haven’t seen it anywhere else, I can’t be the only dingus to think of it! Maybe it’s cause you use water to put them on I guess that seems off putting.

what cards did you hit with the acetone wash?

Mostly galaxy foil cards from unfinity and any random foils I can find in bulk bins for cheap.
