Hi, like your site, now I like your card. I'm not a graphic artist
junkie, myself, but I would like to offer a couple of suggestions.
Lesser versions of ones already offered.

I like the orientation and the right justification. This gets
attention because it isn't what we are used to. I find it pleasing
because you have a left justification with the picture and right with
the words. Looks neat and tidy. because of this, however, Hennaed
Hands and your name look out of place. This is easy to correct by
centering above the top of the picture, between the corner designs.
moving the 'contemporary and traditional..." line below the picture
and using the right justification and 2 lines, instead of 3 would make
it feel more balanced.
I am guessing the 2 different spellings of Mehendi may be a typo? If
not, I agree they should be the same, otherwise people may think one
is a typo. Henna is in your name, so I'm sure people will who don't
know will figure out that mehendi has something to do with henna. If
you want to make sure you may want to change 'mehendi body art..' to
henna body art. On my card I opted for 'mehendi' and 'henna temporary
body adornment." I, however, live in an area were most people don't
know what mehendi is (although I am finding this is changing-slowly.)

The thing I like the best about your card, beside the fact you have
color(color ink for my printer is way too expensive) is the use of a
photo you call "hopeful hand." It seems so right on 2 levels, the
world needs hope right now and a business card is hopefully going to
get you clients!

As to the address question, if you want this to be by appointment
only, the city and state only may be a good idea. Otherwise you may
have people showing up a your place hoping you can "squeeze them in."

Ok, that was more than I thought I was going to say, please feel free
to ignore any or all. As it is your card is still better than many of
my local businesses have and it gets across the important stuff!

Good luck with the henna and classes!
