First off there are no screen shots for this tag, because it is a very simple tag to make.

The images used here and supplied are from www.sxc.hu

OK, Open your 'business card template', duplicate twice and close the original.
Copy and paste both the rose images into each of the templates.
Selections, Select None.
Adjust, Sharpness, Unsharp mask:-
Radius = 1.00
Strenght = 83
Clipping = 1
Do this to both images.

The back of your business card is the one with the full rose bloom.
Select your text tool, use the font Barabara Hand
Outline = null
Fill = white
Size = 20
type the image credit, in this case images courtsey of www.sxc.hu

Duplicate this font layer to make it a tad bolder, then Merge All Flatten.
Thats the back of your card done.

Now the front of your card.
This time with your text keep the same setting except change the colour to black and make sure it is set to vector.

Type the first line of your message, with the swizel node on your text, turn your message to match the angle of the white card on the image.
Right click this layer on the layer palette, and convert to raster layer.
Repeat this with the next line of text.
Add your name in the same way, but change the font size to 48.

On your pre-set shapes, select the shape yaz-SHPEC095. Again make sure the create as vector box is checked. Follow the same proceedure for the text.

Layers, Merge All Flatten

Open a new canvas 500x500
Flood fill white.
Copy and paste your back of card as a new raster layer.
Copy and paste your front of card as a new raster layer.
Image, Rotate, Free Rotate
Right, 20
Adjust, Sharpness, Unsharp mask - same settings as before.

Now add drop shadow
Vertical = -5
Horizontal = 3
Opacity = 50
Blur = 6

Repeat using these settings
Vertical = 5
Horizontal = -3
Opacity = 50
Blur = 6

Do the same for both layers.
