It's amazing how much texture you can achieve on a card with mostly just paper. I started with the suitcase and used the Faux Suede technique. I've never cut out the little stickers before, but this time I did to add more texture to the suitcase. (That was a little more intense than I had planned on, but I liked the end results.) I also gold embossed the buckles on the suitcase--but it doesn't show much. The suitcase is popped up on dimensionals.
Stamped the passport on blue parchment paper and then glued the pages together so that they actually move--so you can turn the page on the passport. One side of the passport is popped up with dimensionals and the other side isn't.
The globe was stamped on Glossy White CS with Black StazeOn. Then I colored DTP with Pool Party, and colored the continents with a marker. Clear embossed to keep the color from rubbing off--which added more texture.
The compass was my least successful experiment. I stamped it in White Craft ink and clear embossed. Added a ring of gold EP. Then put Crystal Effects on the compass face.
The triangle doesn't look like much in the picture, but it is SHINY gold--about 5 layers of gold EP on plain white cardstock.
We also shouldn't neglect the texture that a background stamp can give--even when it is just flat stamped with no embossing.
There is nothing extremely difficult about the card, but the amount of detail is the reason I gave it a 5.

I love this! ATCs have always been a favorite of mine, because they are so cute being so small. You did a fabulous job with the design - and the suitcase looks awesome!
