Hello! I came here randomly, I hope you don't mind me commenting here ~.
Do you still have problems with cards? Do you use PS? And, I actaully don't think you make bad cards (^ ^)
Haha, okay, well just tell me what you want to learn first in GIMP and I will attempt to explain ^_^
Also, dafont is a very good site for fonts, if you haven't discovered it yet.
Well, personally, this is how I usually make cards:
After finding a scan I like, I crop the image & resize it.
Then I adjust color, brightness/contrast a bit.
Then I add my texture(s), sometimes changing the layer mode in GIMP. Then sometimes I do brushes (or I do them after I do the text).
I adjust color or brightness/contrast more if it needs it after adding the textures.
Then I decide what I want the text to say & where I want it to be. I mess around with the font type and color anally until I'm semi satisfied. I often outline the text with this handy thing in GIMP.
I usually have smaller writing under and/or above my main text, usually in a simple, plain font or in a script font.
Idk how that could have been of any help, but I can teach you how to do some of this stuff if you want :P
i use GIMP but only for rendering images and for creating wallpaper
and i would like to know anything.I want to know how exactly do u work on the cards
