Default Foil instead of plastic wrap background

I know many of you have used plastic wrap and ink pads to create backgrounds for your cards and scappy pages... but I am one of these people that could never get that stupid stuff to work for me... aka I could never get it off the roll lol... and now have a plastic wrap free home lol...

But I came up with something even better... foil... take some... make a ball and then stamp into the ink pad and then on to the paper... what is even better is that you don't get any ink on your hands and you can save the balls for later...

Here is a card that I used it on for a stamp camp project.. and it was a huge success...

Default I...

I have used foil, wax paper, and saran wrap. They all have similar looks.
