Handcrafted Tarot/Fortune Telling Cards: Round 5

This swap idea & description is Ashley's. She gave me permission to run this round.

Back by popular demand!

For this swap we will fashion a single tarot card / fortune telling card and send to two partners. How you want to design your card is completely up to you; the only real guidelines are:

1. The back side of the card should be a neutral design and the fortune/tarot side should be capable of being reversed (i.e., the image should have a right way up and a wrong way up).

2. The design may be painted, drawn, stamped, or ironed on, but it must be flat, so no 3-D glue-ons. (Stickers and other flat add on decorations are fine.) For the sake of having a uniform deck please make the dimensions of each card: 11 cm x 6 cm (approx 4.33 by 2.36 inches).

3. On a separate piece of cardstock or paper you should write a brief description of the card's meaning in both its upright and its reversed positions. Example: Let's say I design a card that features a rat. I might say that the upright position means ingenuity during hard times, survival at all costs, etc. The reverse meaning might be failure to make one's way. Again, it is up to you how you want to structure the cards. As long as we have a good group of participants I plan to run this once every month or so for the indefinite future so that those of us who want a "pack" will have one.
