A chunky ATC that I want to keep

My very first chunky ATC was intended for a swap, but I decided I wanted to keep it!  So I made a second one for the swap. My "keeper"  features the papers and images from Graphic 45's "Curtain Call."   I painted the block black and applied some gold webbing spray.  To create the collage on the front, I cut out images and applied them with Glossy Accents, which I then used to seal the entire ATC.   Microbeads and seed beads decorate each side and a chandelier earring from WalMart adds some more glitz to the front.
