Progress
So while I'm waiting for Le Fanu's AWESOME playing cards for the inserts I've been making the graphics borderless as well since it sounds like a lot of people prefer that Here's the progress so far. These are not before & after pix they're "with" borders & "without" borders. One has the original german, one has a temporary playing card insert, the others have English poems I made up to go with the cards since German is hard.
Looks like this will be in mini size & bridge size although I could make a poker size...just trying to narrow it down.
And it looks like when it's done I can sell them to you guys for $20 & I'll probably charge $27 on the Etsy site. I would still like to do extra cards for people. I think I can snip & pull from different cards in the deck to come up with specific extra cards & of course the personalized backs are no problem, same as the other decks. I may not even make a standard back at all, just whatever people want on there since I do have a lot. I'm thinking the old faded patterns would be best on these (I'll attach).

This is quite exciting!
My vote is for the borderless with card insert; and my favorite suggested back is the one in the top row on the right. And i am very happy about the price, too, Seven S!
And i have my TH distress ink pads poised and ready to treat the edges on mine!
They worked so wonderfully well on your Deck of the Bastard and Sola Busca Revisted!

Jim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen is the bomb.

Moongypsy, you used the Distress Ink Pads on the edges? Was it just to reduce the "bright white" appearance? What sort of look did you achieve? Did you use the Antique Linen as Seven Stars mentioned, or another color? Sorry for a thousand questions, but I'm intrigued.
I've treated trimmed edges with metallic ink to create a gilded look, but that's all so far.

Heya, Kalliope!
Yes, i did!
Actually [since the Deck of the Bastard has become the main Tarot deck i use for readings; i have...er...um...a few of them. More than i have ever had of any one deck]...
i have done 2 of them with Antique Linen; and did my other 2 [yes...gasp...i have 4 of them. ((((MoonGypsy hangs her head and blushes scarlet)))
...where was i...oh yes.
my other 2 i actually started out with Antique Linen, then added a bit of Tea dye color, and finished with Vintage Photo. i LOVED how it came out. It reminds me of wood and blends so beautifully with the fronts. My red antique tabriz rug back i left with just the Antique Linen, and it looks perfect for that one..
But i need to bring this thread back to Seven's Lenormand...
