Trimmed Borders/Altered Decks Index

And the Faeries' Oracle, with "gilded" edges.

Ink used was a Tim Holtz Distress Ink marker in the color called Wild Honey.

It's matte, not shiny/glossy, and pretty much a perfect match in color.

Beautiful!

Hi all! I'm in the process of modding my Tarot de Marseille (Bounty Books) deck. I've trimmed the corners and coloured the borders black. I think the black contrasts nicely with the pale yellow background and primary colours of the cards, and helps to make the images pop. Have also started colouring in the back design. Eventually I want it to be black and gold. Still looking for a decent gold marker - I tried a gold sharpie but the colour came out dull and ugly so I ditched it. I might have to use gold paint.

I ordered a corner rounder off eBay so will have roundrounded corners soon as well :)

Nice job misschismis! Love the black borders on the deck and love what you did with the backs. I think you blackened the right parts of the image and just enough of the image.

Are you planning to use sealant on the cards? The Sharpies will bleed from back to front and front to back once you start using the deck. You can test that out by rubbing one of your completed cards vigorously against a piece of white paper. Would be a shame to have your beautiful work messed up like that.

Rodney, I'm slowly updating the front page lists, but I have a question for you.
Your Tarot Sutra, there is a fool that doesn't look like it goes, is that to another deck?

And also there are a number of steampunks now, would someone tell me which deck is currently listed there?

Thanks, Sharyn/AJ

Nope that's the before and after of the Fool from the Tarot Sutra. Amazing difference, huh?

Crazy, man... thanks!

How about the steampunk anyone??
