It's best that the paper is a little thick for sturdiness. Cardstock is fine, just make sure it is archival quality (like cardstock used for scrap booking ) to make sure the paper doesn't change color over time. I like using smooth Bristol for my cards because it has a nice, smooth drawing texture, so that's a good one to try as well. <br /><br />Art cards are usually not laminated. Typically, they are protected by a plastic sleeve. Art cards are the same size as trading cards, so I've found plastic trading card sleeves to work very well.

I've traded quite a few cards on that site an it's a very positive experience. And everything is free! As far as selling art cards, etsy is very popular. They have a lot of groups on the site for promoting art cards and sharing your latest work. Those are the first places I can think of.Arcadia Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01025147259110712732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034614119766641122.post-45323713547608995482013-04-28T13:59:24.484-04:002013-04-28T13:59:24.484-04:00I have seen countless of art cards, and would love...I have seen countless of art cards, and would love to start making them as well.
