This card is dramatically different from the previous card.  For one thing, it’s vertical, which is less common than the horizontal layout.  It’s also very dark.  I envision this on cardstock with a gloss finish to it, or else, a textured cardstock with a matte background, and shiny letters.

One thing I learned about print media is that your availability of printer equipment, and your budget, greatly affect what kind of layout you can do.  As you can see, this layout, unlike the 1st business card, has no margin. the color goes right to the edges.  Some printers lack the ability to  print to the edges of the paper, and if you don’t have access to one that can, you either have to adjust your design to include a margin accepted by the printer, or else print your cards on the paper in such a way that there is margin on the paper around the card graphic and then you trim them down after you print. Either of these options will increase the expense of the cards produced.
