My Lenormand (well I try to do one)

Hello everyone,
I have a small project to create my own Lenormand and trying to incorporate on the cards as many elements as I can for an easier reading.

I propose you to show you my first card and I'm very open to all critical advice.

There is a description of the meaning of the card (eg 6 of Diamonds) and also the general sense of the Lenormand cards + some help for the timing.

Thx a lot for your comments.

The top icons are used to understand what means the 6 of diamonds (here loss or gain in financial matters depends on the surrounder cards)

The the lower icon is the general meaning of the Lenormand (luck, chance with the fatma hand).

Then, you've Timing and astrological indications on the side of the card.

This is my 3rd card :

I'm going to try to be more explicit:

10 of spades on top.
The two icons that surround the 10 of spades: sadness - misfortunes (with concept of speed with the guillotine)

The main image related to the timeframe of Marie Antoinette (theme of my deck). This the Hermione, the ship which carried Lafayette to America.

The two icons at the bottom give the general idea of the card: new start and trip.

I wait to see for what you've understood.

Kisses to all and thank you again for your help.

I just saw this thread and have to say I LOVE what I've seen so far !!! The cards are so CRISP!!!! The choice of colors is bright but not offensive to the eyes and to me, the addition of items at the top is the icing on the cake. REALLY well done ! My only suggestion is that perhaps the timing on the sides take a bit of the "flow" of the card . Does it make sense ? For instance, the Ship card, to me, depending on the reading, takes a direction (right or left). I know I would be bummed if I saw the writings while figuring out the direction. Not that they are not necessary or important (the timing, I mean) but just the location...

:heart::thumbsup:

I took into account of your problem for the written sentences of the cards.

Today is the house card. The image dipect "Le petit Trianon" Marie-Antoinette castle.
