Recently made + received Artist Trading Cards

So I've been trying to practice making ATCs and this is the result:

The card on left is The king of Joseon (I have a little obsession of Joseon/Korean history and this is the result :D)

The card on right is a Japanese dragon (I did not draw it myself, I only colored it  and added bling bling on the edges -u-)

And  this is Hello Kitty card. I used blue nail polish for the background and the Hello Kitty itself is a tattoo! However the card looks too empty, I don't know what I should add, any tips?

This is for Newbie and non artist ATC -swap. I am not sure whether this card is good enough...I tried to make "old-style flower", as a background I used my self-made old-looking paper, flower made of news paper. maybe it looks too simple and weird-looking... :( Fortunately it is an ATC swap for newbies so I don't have to worry too much that my partner is expecting too much of me, or will be angry for not receiving a masterpiece. 

In the photo is what my own partner sent for me; an adorable ATC and as an extra some beautiful papers ^_^

My first ATCs + New purchases + My first swap ever ^o^

I've seen alot of beautiful ATC(Artist Trading Card) cards on the Internet thus I wanted to try make my own cards, too ^_^!!

HaHa...^^;; They don't look as good as the ones I have seen :(

The first card is "Sushi and Friends" and the second card is "Good Night, Hello Kitty" =D

What do you think about them? 

I'll do more cards and try to improve myself~!! No one is born as a mastermind !

And today I rode on bike total 32 KMs(!!!!) cuz I went to buy scrapbooking/ATC/origami papers and supplies and I did not want to waste money on bus xD (I live in countryside)

Anyway, I hardly found anything, I'm highly disappointed on the supply Tiimari(A Finnish shop that sells hobby crafts etc) offers! 

I especially went to buy scrapbooking papers or other beautiful papers, but this is all I found. I wish I would have found some more colorful and cute papers :( 

Also bought glitter glue :3

~ANNOUNCEMENT~

I have finally created my own first swap on Swap-pot ^_^!

I'm so excited :) If you're on Swap-pot and would like to join, click HERE!
