Edit: Made a slight edition to this, since I saw I had missed a few lines. I changed the face, that was bothering me, and now I'm much more happy with it. *And* I added the card's number! LOL! How come I missed it in the first place? *rolls eyes at myself*
My entry to "The Mystic Tarot Contest", held by =IWS-stock, *Sammykaye1sStamps and *Stock-by-Dana!  The trump card I chose was "Temperance":  Temperance ----- Harmony ----- Balance ----- HealthModeration ----- Joining forces ----- Well-being ----- RecoveryEquilibrium ----- Transcendence ----- Unification ------ HealingSynthesis ----- Bringing together opposites ---- Feeling secureTemperance (Italian: La Temperanza) is a Major Arcana Tarot card, numbered VI or VII in the oldest Italian decks, but XIV in the Tarot de Marseille and in most contemporary decks. Temperance is almost invariably depicted as a person pouring liquid from one receptacle into another. Historically, this was a standard symbol of the virtue temperance, representing the dilution of wine with water. In many decks, the person is a winged person/angel, usually female or androgynous, and stands with one foot on water and one foot on land. In addition to its literal meaning of temperance or moderation, the Temperance card is often interpreted as symbolizing the blending or synthesis of opposites. I had the idea to make it like stained glass last night. I actually got out of bed, and made a hurried sketch before I lost the idea, LOL!  I also left a few comissions on hold to do this. *slaps hand* ...Bad Carol, very bad! I used loads of stocks to help me here, since I had *no* idea how to make the glass effects and style, so here are they: From  : Details on the Dress, details on the Bowl, Card corners and flowery circle behind the angel.From  : Water, Grass, Castle, Tiara and Butterflies.From  : Angel WingsThe Angel is mine. *phew* Hope you like it girls!  Made on Photoshop CS2.  Please do not tag, tude, iconize or edit in any way. Thank you.  |
