I’ve enjoyed making my handmade business cards so much, I wanted to try doing some paintings on business cards. Besides, what else am I going to do with the 500 business cards from my last job I have sitting in a box?

I was concerned that they would curl and bow when I painted on them, so I tried laminating six of them together. It seems to be working so far.

I also found a stack of 2×4 squares I cut over a year ago that I had completely forgotten about. Four of them were even gessoed and ready to go. Thanks for planning ahead, Past-Phil!

These paintings are extra awesome because they can stand up on their own on a table or desk, be hung on a wall, or used as an improvised weapon in case of surprise Zombear attack. Very practical! Look for these and the card paintings in my Etsy Shop soon.
