OT: Custom A&G TTM success! (Friday the 13th style)

[Ty Hope]

I made a set of 8 different "horror icon" A&G cards in photoshop and printed them all out on card stock. Sent all of them out TTM to the various actors a few weeks ago and got my first one back!

Thats awesome Ty!

I plan on doing the same thing with a few I've been making for a while now..... I get distracted and pulled away from it easily. One of them is my avatar, missing the color spray though.

Which brush did you use for the background color and also what size card stock and how does that size feel cut 3.5 x 2.5?

Thanks buddy and congrats, it looks really nice.

To get the background right, I just took a pic of another A&G card, deleted the old image with the clone tool and kept the Topps logo, etc. at the bottom.

For the card stock, it is a little thinner than what a normal card should be, but not much. I'm really happy with how they came out.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I was talking with a local printer recently about having my cards printed when I'm finished and he was telling me the smaller you cut your large sheet of card stock the thicker it feels. Like a business card for example, doesn't feel very thick on its 8x11 sheet (or whatever size), but cut down to size seems more stable.

Thats why I went with a little thinner stock. I was worried that if it was too thick, the edges would get screwed up.
