I'm trying to make a quick postcard starting with a blank template. How do I change the background colour? Normally there's a colour pallette to the left, but it's not there when you start from blank...

Anyone?

TIA!
 
is there a line that says "advance editing". Click that and it should show you all the options.

Hmmm there's no advanced editing button this way. Weird!
 
Sometimes when you are using a free card, the advanced editing option goes away.

You can add an image and then choose their designs. Then type in what color you are looking for, and then search through the designs. Crop one you like the look of the background, and then stretch it over the card. Of course that is if you have the option of adding an image.

Haha I was just copying someone's Wish List card from here. The front says "Your wish list could be free!" and the back just has lines for people to write their lists on. Pretty simple.
 
No, the funny thing is I think I was the one you were copying from (not that I came up with the idea, it is recycled). I never thought about making it more colorful...
