If you've worked with me on any of the Book of Background projects, you know the story behind it. In this video lesson, I'm going to switch things up and take Book of Background pages and use them to create quick artist trading cards. NOTE: this can be adapted to ANY size, I just happened to want to make ATC's.
Ready to make this? Here is what I used:
The background that was used in the video for the greenish background, the file got corrupted, so here is an alternative video which is very, very close.

Background #2: https://goo.gl/Nx1bn7 (nautical theme)

Side Note:
My videos are geared towards beginners and intermediates. I talk throughout the process to make it easy for you to understand. I avoid speeding up the videos and mistakes are not edited out so you can see how to fix it if it happens to you. In doing this, the videos are a little bit longer.
