Card Backs

Description

Two versions of a possible back for the Shadow Tarot, since someone asked... *grins*

I think personally I'll use the light one, but I figured hey, it's a Shadow Tarot, I should do a dark version too. So.

Update! I've decided to design the deck so that when it's printed, there will be TWO of each card, one with a light back image and one with a dark back image. The back color affects the meaning slightly - if it's the light back, the card has a positive spin on it, if it's the dark back the meaning is more negative. Kind of like how a normal deck has upright and reversed meanings, only less difference between them. For example, if you drew a card depicting love and it was a light back, it might mean a good relationship coming your way. If it was a dark back, it might be warning you of obsessive love, or that the one you love isn't right for you.

Credits: ~rL-Brushes and *CausticStock of course, since without their lovely stocks and brushes I wouldn't have ever even begun this project... and the beautiful back bared there belongs to ~DelightfulStock.

For those interested, the rest of the cards so far:

One - The Traveler
Two - The Puppets
Three - The Performer
Four - The Patient Student
Five - The Vortex
Six - The Gatekeeper
Seven - The First Kiss
Eight - The Initiate
Nine - Forbidden Love
Ten - Enchanter's Overflow
Eleven - The Inheritor
Twelve - The Runaway
Thirteen - The Thief
Fourteen - The Siren
