Sally_Flower wrote:I took the interpretation literally. The path represents the path of life with it's twists and turns. However, if the black joker appears in a draw it is a warning watch out for the trip wires that life throws in your way and learn from them. If you don't learn from those then the joker is ready with a banana skin to make doubly sure that the lesson will be learnt. The figure walking along whistling ...

How are you all doing with your projects? Spirity sent me this wonderful Jack of Diamonds (which I have admittedly not been very expeditious in sharing ). Isn't it lovely? I adore the background concept. Sorry I was so slow to post this, Spiritsong! Again, "watermarked" for safety.

As part of the project I think it makes a lot of sense to post the cards we get in chronologically to keep things moving! With that in mind, I present to you Rif's wonderful Jack of Clubs. Well done, Rif! Is there a story behind this gorgeous face, Rif? *This is not the original image. I've added a "watermark" to protect the image from unauthorized use.

I asked Sally if I could post her thoughts on the card along with the image, and here is what she said: Sally_Flower wrote:It was very strange because originally this queen started off as a femme fatale but ended up as something completely different and rather sad. I found that she was a woman who had everything crown, wealth -money bag, diamonds - keys to the castle - yet was not happy (face and mask) and is ...

This goes without saying. But beyond that, I just really want to encourage everyone to consider being a part of this project! I saw someone use this quote recently, and it spoke volumes to me: "The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." Aristotle Why should you sign up for this project? Even if you're not an artist, if you think you have no skill, or if you're just plain shy. What have you ...

I'll start by sharing two tips from my first card, which I created in Photoshop, although this tip would be relevant to any image-creation software. First, I used a document size of 2.625" x 3.625", or 788 x 1088 pixels at 300 ppi. I'm assuming a printed card size of 2.5" x 3.5", so that was the area I limited my artwork to. This gives a small "bleed area" as ...
