Three new Steampunk ATCs with Polymer clay............

I was playing with some polymer clay today and thought I would see
if I could make some Steampunk ATCs with my Steampunk Stamp. 
First I rolled the clay very thin with a  rolling pin,  I stamped it
with my large rubber Steampunk stamp and baked it. When it cooled, 
I painted it heavily with black water color paints and wiped extra off. 
The black stayed  in the grooves. Using metallic paint, I dry brushed 
the top surface. I added some metal embellishments and touched up
the edges. The pieces were glued to hand painted paper that was glued
to chipboard.  I think they turned out fairly well. It was a fun experiment.

  6. Thank you all. They were not very difficult to do so I hope you all try some. Clay is really fun to stamp. Make sure you roll it very thin for the ATC. I used a "liquid nails" glue and rubbed it around very well so it covered every spot. Used a heavy cardboard too.
