Question Alcohol ink on aluminum foil

I read in a blog (can't remember which one) about adhering aluminum foil to a card stock and then using alcohol ink and a cuttlebug folder in a cuttlebug to create a fantastic background. Help. I would sure love to have the directions.

I have a foil/alcohol tutorial but I did not use cardstock, I just put it in the folder - same thing just add the paper.

I have used foil tape, alcohol inks, and the Cuttlebug (both embossing folders and die cut items) with great success. I did use some cs when I put the foil tape through the CB because mine tends to punch through paper sometimes when embossing and I didn't want any holes. I covered an unfinished wood frame I got at Michaels for my husband to use for his nature photography. It was a real hit!

I do the cardstock thing, but I use aluminum plumbers taps instead of foil. There are a couple of examples on my blog.
