I just made these. I'm still feeling a bit under the weather so I made simple ones, but tomorrow I'm going to spend the day making really elaborate multi-media cards. What do you think of these? (The color is slightly off...but I'm out of energy.) ![https://i31.tinypic.com/20z9utc.jpg]() Front: ![https://i30.tinypic.com/9qwver.jpg]() Back: ![https://i32.tinypic.com/9tfvya.jpg]() ![https://i28.tinypic.com/oixkit.jpg]()

Or, I could grab the material to make exact copies this weekend.
I haven't yet made enough to put up on my art site, but I was thinking I'd sell these simple ones for $1.50 a pop.

My sister does the same thing, basically. Maybe you two should form a company or somethin'

top left is the best! Thank you!
I was going to put it on a black card...but then tested it against every other color I had. I think I still will put it some portion of that print on black, but I really love the blue. Blue is not at all my favorite color, but I'm happy.

...just made two more. ![https://i28.tinypic.com/oixkit.jpg]() The brown on the top one has a slight shimmer to it. It's not glittery...just a little metallic. Keep in mind these are 5am snapshots.

The top left in the first one is so cool. I love that one especially...
Was that a pattern or did you do that from scratch too?

I see it now... the side and the bottom are separate... That's pretty cool though. I couldn't even tell.
Also, the red and blue together is a good way to make a bright, loud, piece that draws the attention.

They're not usually busy though.

oh wow oh wow oh wow. i love these!
and i agree that $1.50 is total bargain prices. don't sell yourself short, my friend! your work deserves a little more compensation, even if you're not In It For The Money.

I've been meaning to edit my post. When I told my mom how much I was charging, she said I should at least charge twice as much.
So, I was thinking $3.00 or $4.00 per card. I just didn't know if they were good enough that people would buy them at that price.
I guess I'll see.

I guess I'll see. i certainly think they're worth that much. for all the work, time, care, inspiration and not to mention supplies that go into these...
