8 of Wands

8 of Wands

The next card in our deck is the 8 of wands! Inspired by a tent stocked with jars full of memories, this card is definitely the full of magic. 

The content of the card needed to be legible, yet cluttered. Clear, yet unorganized. Having a card with so much similar content proved to challenge the paper layering idea that I had for the other cards. I added in a little bit of furniture to make sure that we had a layered effect, which also helped to show the level of cluttered that this tent was. There are memory jars EVERYWHERE!

IV – The Emperor

IV – The Emperor

Card number three is our first Major Arcana card – The Emperor.

This card was inspired by a very charismatic and troubling character in the book. There’s an incident in the book (I’ll try and avoid spoilers) where the character… shifts to a different state, let’s say. I knew that I had to use this element in the card to try and push the design along. Read more to see how this card came together…

10 of Coins – Kittens of the Circus

10 of Coins – Kittens of the Circus

I have had a project percolating for over a decade. I had the project fully ready and planned out, and then I stalled out when it was time to start executing it. I worried about style, I worried about the final plan, I worried about changing my plan part way through.

It turns out that my style just wasn’t ready yet. Late last year I did a little digging back into the idea to see if it was worth pursuing or if I should just toss it. A few sketches, and Firefly exports later I was off and running again. OF COURSE the style I had been working in recent years would be PERFECT for this project. It was sitting right there!

Anyway, all that to say that this is the start of that project… I give you the Night Circus inspired Tarot Deck!

Our first card is the 10 of Coins.

Bookmark – Presents By the Tree

Bookmark – Presents By the Tree

The energy falling off of this design is my very favourite warm and cozy feeling that I enjoy so much around the holidays. I love the warm light of the Christmas tree and all the decorations around. Topped off with some lightly falling snow outside and you have the perfect evening for me.

I think that this would be a great bookmark for anyone’s stocking or as a Christmas tag. I plan to use mine as a tracker for the holiday reading I plan to get done over the holiday weekends and break. How would you use yours?

Holiday Tree Gnome

Holiday Tree Gnome

This design is one requested by a friend of mine. She wanted a gnome so engulfed by the Christmas tree that you could barely see him. I think that this came out great!

I did use some AI support for the design of the tree. I didn’t feel that my normal tree style would really fit for what we were looking for here. I wanted something more fluffy, engulfing, and elaborate than what I would normally draw. So with the support of some of the AI graphics, I was able to come up with something that really worked out well. Something a little more stylized, but that is unique.

This gnome will be available on cards, prints, and in Christmas card bundles on my shop. You can also drop by my markets on November 9th and 16th to see all of these lovely new products in person. You can also shop online at my holiday shop. Keep an eye on the socials for when and where you can find these lovely products before the holidays.

Skiing Gnome

Skiing Gnome

A gnome requested by a friend of mine. Who is ready to hit the slopes? This guy is. They are all bundled up in their warmest gear, goggles shined, ski pass set, and boots ready to go!

Want to hang out with this gnome all day? You can find them on a greeting card or print at my Holiday Market November 16th, or online at my holiday shop. Keep an eye on Instagram and Facebook to see when and where you can grab a skiing friend of your own.

Project – A Witch!

Project – A Witch!

As soon as I started my Halloween list I knew a witch gnome had to be there. I had an image of a ridonkulously large hat and it was a done deal.

This one was beyond fun to build and I am so happy with this little witch and all of her friends. I liked playing around with some of the Fresco brushes and layering effects so that I could get a really cool effect for the “eye of newt” potion coming out of the cauldron.

This witchy beauty will be available on prints, cards and stickers at my Thanksgiving market and online the week after. Keep an eye on the socials to see when and where you can grab one for yourself.
