A standing business card mockup, made for presenting a QR code card. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
Freelance designers and branding studios tend to get the most out of files like this. Quick tip: show the back of the card with just the logo; it makes the front look calmer.
It also makes a good cover image for a Behance or Dribbble post, where the first thumbnail decides whether anyone clicks.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to GraphicsFuel. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
Will my artwork look printed or pasted on?
Most print mockups keep the paper texture and lighting on separate layers above your design, so it takes on the grain and shadows. If it still looks too clean, lower the opacity of your artwork a little.
