Where can I find opalescent poster board/cardstock?

the material that these stars are made of is exactly what I'm looking for. This origami paper looks good too, but is too small and too thin...looking for poster board sizes 18x24, 20x24, 24x36 on up (dare I hope for bigger?) on a nice heavy stock (in bulk/wholesale) for silkscreening some crazy posters on...my google-fu is turning up nothing but subtly sparkly wedding invitations instead of 1970s Barbarella hooker hayride swirly crystal disco fandango. Please help me!

If you aren't in a hurry and have time to request samples, I highly recommend paperandmore.com. I made my own wedding stationery and all of my paper was ordered through them. The shipping is fast, the customer service is excellent. I have sent several people their way. They have some metallics but if you have time I would request samples just so you know what you're getting.

I don't know about screening onto a foil surface, would the ink ever dry? If you used heat to dry, I think it would mess up the foil.

You might want to try Colby Posters, they used to sell blanks you could print on yourself but not sure if they still do. Scroll to the bottom of that page and you'll see some of their famous brightly colored posters.

You can try Kelly Paper too.

I would also try calling or going in to a paper store like Kelly paper and describing what you want, a big paper store like that would be able to tell you right away if what you want is available in the sizes you want.
