Branding my cards with my own artwork

I am always looking for new ideas in my card making. I have just recently started using my own art prints on cards which I believe will make my cards look more original.

There are many handmade cards already out there, I hoped by including my photography/art, I could create a new market of products.

I found creating these cards, fairly challenging at first, for the main reason, that my images are so different and bright and it was difficult to decide which of my card materials would be suitable to go with them. Because of the complexity of my art work, I believe simplicity of extra materials was appropriate.
