Thank you. :D

You print out a couple of copies of the card you want to make on glossy card stock paper or buy a couple copies of a card that exist in either MTG or YuGiOh. Then you outline the card with a black sharpie on what ever you want to remain in the layer. Then with an xacto knife you cut out the outline/portion you want out. You do this to each layer taking little by little off on each layer and also color the edges/in between of the card with black so it isn't white in edge. Then using sticky putty you stick them together. For the base foil card you use acetone and handsantizer to wipe the ink off a foil mtg card. Can also work witha yugioh card but you might have to use a different combination and might be harder to remove the ink. Then print the image you want on the foil card on a projector sheet/transparency sheet then color the side thats going ontop of the foil with a white paint marker for the things you don't want to be foil.

Thanks. I just got a desk lamp to help with the lighting so I'll experiment with that.

Wow really nice idea. Well made. :thumbsup:

I think my gf would freak out if I could make such boxes for her. Finally a good usage to all that unplayed glossy yugioh cards ::D:

You should try it. It's not too hard. I was able to do it and I have shaky hands so if you have steady hands you'll have an easier time.
