What you will get

An original tarot-style card with an ornate gold border on a deep colour, a symbolic central scene, stars and moons, art nouveau linework and the card name in elegant lettering at the bottom.

Common mistake

The card name is misspelt or the letters merge.

Fix: Keep the name to one or two short words, and check it. A text-friendly tool can help, or you can add the name later.

Also watch for

The symbolism does not match the card’s meaning. Describe the scene you want in plain words, such as “a lantern held up in a dark forest”. Do not rely on the AI to know the traditional design.
A famous deck’s artwork is copied. Ask for an original design in your own colours and symbols, and avoid naming a published deck.

Try a variation: start a set

Save the border, palette and lettering wording, then change only the card name and the central image. Four cards in a row show whether the set holds together.

Still not right? Add this and run it again

Keep the border and the colours. Simplify the central scene to one symbol and make the lettering larger and more even at the bottom.
