Assuming you appreciate some constructive criticism - the sample 'business card' you provided doesn't match your promise of being elegant...

The flow of the text around the round image makes it hard to read. There's a mishmash of font sizes. 'Show all' displays so little new text, you might as well not hide it under the link. The summary is cut off mid-sentence and there's no way of expanding it. The picture is cropped too closely and there's a pixelated border.

The font that 'CIVILIZED AGE' is written in hardly looks elegant, and doesn't match the cursive font.

Just my opinion...

I agree with all of this feedback but I think it's the cursive font (Tangerine) that needs to change.
It's a combination of that and the overuse of drop shadows, which give it the "I just discovered Photoshop" look.
Aw, but I LOVE drop-shadow and cursive! :)

I appreciate the feedback, guys; this project was just a 48-hour diversion which I figured had stand-alone merit, but I'll be sure to take your comments to heart vis-a-vis my other work.

Thanks!
