Don't do anything too delicate. Even with the best foils and papers, you can't get a clean release on a line thinner that 2 pt.
I recently did a book cover with dark blue foil on a navy uncoated vellum. The foil was glossy and only slightly darker than the paper. Looked awesome.
Agree with others about paper weight. A strong impression has a nicer feel, but needs to be stamped on 80# cover or heavier to avoid show-through.
