Step 3 : Creating Front Card

Now that we have our worksheet set, we will begin to create the Front Card.

Go to the "Rectangle Tool ", you can find it on the left toolbar. Make a box shape and then make the box shape resized into 4,5 x 9 cm, which is standard size for Business Card.

Draw a box shape on the bottom of the first box using the "Bezier Tool ", by point & left click to create a box shape like in the picture below.

Make sure that the last click is connected with the first click or else you cannot put color on the shape.

Shape the second box shape by using the "Shape Tool", It’s the second upper left toolbar.

Right click in the lines inside the box shape using " Shape Tool " and find "convert to curves tool" at the top corner toolbar and click it.

After that you will see two dotted arrows, click and drag in order to shape it, apply this to all the lines until you make a shape like in the picture.

Apply it the same to the opposite line.
