How to make your own card 🏹
Here's an example for the trading cards using the template starring the beautiful ✨James✨!!Our theme for the trading cards is RPG CLASSES. If your OC were to exchange pleasantries with truck-kun, what job would they take up in a fantasy world? Or if they've always lived in a fantasy world, tell us about their work experience and where they see themselves in 5 years. Are they a valiant knight on a mission? A devious rogue with a heart of gold (like...literally?)? A sorcerer with a tragic past? Or a money-minded merchant?The template is provided HERE. Please maintain some of the distinctive elements of our template to ensure recognisability. Here is a breakdown of the image template:
