I had a yellow plastic file folder and stamped fish with black Stazon and then cut out. Worked perfect. Ink stays on! Now I'm going to try it with the Stamp set you used also. You might want to try a plastic file folder too.

However, I have now made a couple more cards using Kathi's suggestion of laminating the fish (posts will appear on 22 and 29 July)that are completely successful - the fish are perfect after a couple of weeks! So that would be recommendation to you. I hope I get to see your card(s)!Stephanie Fischer, the Crafty Thinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096999806908860628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144241970390167696.post-9426240615840085992016-07-03T04:09:25.430+10:002016-07-03T04:09:25.430+10:00I wonder if you could try liquid glycerin (used in...I wonder if you could try liquid glycerin (used in making soap products) that you can buy at most hobby stores??

Definitely think that laminating would work, but just in case you didn't have easy access to a laminator! I want to attempt to make this card, so I might try the clear EP and see how that goes.
