    I also like that by using the rubber stamp in that manner, the card looks like a vintage movie ticket stub, or a secret invitation to an exclusive event. Really cool :)

    I make my business cards from old greeting cards, trying to capture an interesting part of the card.

    How did you print on the cards? Was it a rubber stamp? If so, what kind of ink did you use?

    Gasp... cereal boxes. I love that!

    How about flyers that are left over from shows? As a performing artist, there are always a few of those around. Maybe I'll give that a try.

    Love this idea, and love the design. A business card tell who you are by way of design, but here you are making a creative, green statement, which is really awesome. :)
