An uber Artist Trading Card made for live trade. This is a dimensional ATC, with copper wire, good beads, polymer class and real papyrus paper for the background. Mica powders make the black clay look metallic. Mounted on matboard as cardstock might be a little to bendy.
I used printed labels on back for ATC trade info. After all this work, I didn't want to ruin front by adding information on back.

Whoops- this one is not on papyrus, but is on matboard sprayed with moonglow glitz spritz, then embossed with a gold glitter EP in a crackle pattern. (Yes, these are really over-wrought, over-done ATC's - but that's what Uber ATC's are all about!)
Nina, wow, these are completely fabulous. I have to try and pick a favorite. BTW, Look at you, all over the Stampers Sampler ... again! What terrific little houses, I love the blue, but then, a roof made of chocolate bars, how can one resist!
Congrats on being published again!

It's lots easier than it looks - roll out polymer clay (only once or twice through a pasta machine set aside for polymer clays), stamp, dust with mica powders, bake - and the central pieces are done. Wrap with wire, put on background (use something hefty like matboard). It's basically a piece of jewelry on an atc. I think people have simply taken it off the card, stuck on a pin back and worn it.
