It's Written in the Cards







Mari's "Double, Double, Toil & Trouble" book gave me the perfect opportunity to do a spread with Tarot cards.  I have long been intrigued by the Tarot.  I don't know much about them but I love all the beautiful decks of Tarot cards.  

For this spread, I used Inka Gold to color my background pages.  Then I took images of Tarot cards from a book I found on Tarot.  I reduced the images and ran them off on cardstock.  I cut out four sets of the Major Arcana to use in this spread.  I thought this simple pop-up format would be a fun way to show off all of the different designs.  There are 22 in the Major Arcana alone!  I attached the cards with foam core mounting squares to give it even more of a 3-D effect.  My technique and materials are included on the back side of the pop-up.
