This royal pair, the King of Diamonds and the Queen of Diamonds, was designed by a Philippine artist, Ingrid Tan (IngridTan). The queen seems to be quite happy. Maybe it’s because she is a pretty girl like Ingrid. The king is definitely upset. Maybe because of the queen’s endless shopping… maybe because of the indices inside the frame… or maybe because he has cut off his own feet. Who knows?

The King of Diamonds by Ingrid Tan
This attractive Queen of Diamonds was created by a Romanian artist, Roxana Gănescu. Queen’s green dress really suits her green eyes. And the Queen of Hearts can obviously be envious of her hair and coiffure.
But don’t be careless. As Jeeves* said, “Red hair, sir, in my opinion, is dangerous”.

The Queen of Diamonds
This Green Queen of Diamond was designed by an American artist, Ryan Wood. One way, quite unusual size of the card, but amazing artwork.
