I couldn’t agree more, and as a coincidence, we both have the same base cards to use; leaf-shaped paint chips from Home Depot.
Here are the firs two I ever made.  The are evolving and ideally I would like a nice way to ‘print’ my business info on the card or print out the info onto a pretty and/or clear label stamp; we’ll see.

Painted with Alcohol ink base, a few scraps
of mulberry paper and tissue paper attached.
Paper quilling objects, old business card pieces.
For now I used free business cards I have received from Vista Print and MOO.  I just wanted to see how they look.
Maybe this will inspire you to try to make some of your own!!??
 This is what the paint chips look like when you get them from the store.
