I'm collaborating with my sister right now. We feel like we want to make the deck sort of erie. You can already see in my second tree that it's kind of creepy... What do you guys think?

You're thinking more like "haunted forest"?  I don't know...  I kind of liked the spare design of a "winter" deck front.  You're using a theme without bashing people over the head with it.

All I can say is, show us a draft and we'll see how it looks.  We may hate it, we may love it.

I love the roots that were added! Maybe you could try making the tree a bit bigger?

I think it will be  ;D  I may tweak the birds... And the font and pips will probably be Bicycle. Unless I can come up with something unique that is sick, like the Infinity deck which I LOVE.

Wow! Now THAT'S a nice ace of spades! Nothing to say here, it looks great.
It's just an idea, but since you said you wanted an eerie kind of feel, I think it'd be nice if the ace of clubs was some sort of footprint left in the forest by... Something. ;D
And have a little story to go with it! Like Fulton's Clip Joints.

Very nice. Go for it man. Which one's next? Clubs, Hearts, or Diamonds?
I prefer hand written signatures over digital ones but the ink appears to be stuck on my monitor screen...

Print them in red.  Simple.  You can even have the roots weaved into the word "Cardistree".  Don't like red?  Brown, green, blue, pick your poison!

I think I may do brown  ;D  And I like the idea of weaving the roots into Cardistree, I'll have to work on that!

Derek, your designs are sick as hell and I am fully onboard if you go the creepy route. My only piece of advice is as follows; the root directly to the right of center root...it looks like an amateur flame design. I am not sure if that is the best way to describe what point I am trying to get across, but if you look at it I hope you see what I am referring to. Maybe just make that particular root a little thinner so it doesn't look like a flame?
Magical as Sin!

Derek, how are the designs going? I think you should put this deck first and the discourse deck second... you are very into both of them
