The second completed Tarot Card in my series. Using a shot from the Theresa photoshoot that I thought was perfect for capturing the idea of the card.
I’m using spot color for all of the cup cards, and I really wanted to have a little more in them than appears here, but I feel its important to not overdo it, and the little splash of red wine seems to be perfect for this one.
Other themes of note here: All of my pages are going to be women. I’m considering changing it to the alternate name "Princess" but I like the sound of "Page" some how. Also, all of the pages will be wearing lingerie or bed clothes (as will all of the male knights). The cups, aside from B&W with color cutouts will also all be wearing rather casual or street clothing (i have other methods of dress in mind for other suits).
I also just realized a flaw in my design. I have the number of the card (Roman numeral for Major Arcana) in the upper left hand corner, but the kings and knights will both start with K. This is bad. Any suggestions for avoiding this are appreciated (I am considering Kn for knight).
If anyone has any suggestions or questions about other themes and ideas I have worked out so far, please comment and let me know… its a big job and all input is welcome.

@lrayholly: yep… unfortunately, I no longer have any stored up. So now I have to go and take some more shots.
This is gonna be a great deck, very original, love the shot you’ve used here.
@SU365: I hope so. Thanx.
This is the second greatest idea ever (after 365). I am definitely for it. I might attempt my own someday (I seem to say that a lot these days…but it gives me something to practice on!) once I scrounge up some models and learn how to do the border doo-hickey and text. I like the socks on the model. Very cool detail.
@Miss Emily goes bananas: its a very big job… good luck
I am getting all sorts of snippets of the cards I am looking for. Did you just google for the images? I’ve lost my deck.
@Miss Emily goes bananas: nah, I have like a dozen decks. And I went and planned out each one and the themes I wanted. I’m not attempting to create the specific look of any of them. I’m making my own.
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called World Wine Woman, and we’d love to have your photo added to the group.
@VYNO: added. Thank you.
Thanks!
