The record
As an adjunct of the new colouring-books-for-adults trend, colour-in tarot decks are starting to make an appearance. While there have been occasional forays into black-and-white decks over the last half-century, it seems that more are being published at present and Lo Scarabeo is weighing in with their Color Your Tarot deck. This is a 22 card Major Arcana only. The cards measure 80 x 145 mm which makes them considerably longer and a little bit wider than regular tarot decks. They are still easy to handle due to their relative narrowness. In their unaltered state, which is to say uncoloured, they are easy to shuffle, and move through one's hands easily. However mediums such as paint, glitter, collage, spray sealant, or lamination may change the texture of the cards considerably and thus their handle-ability. The card stock is very good. The cards are solid and sturdy with a laminated back. The face is very smooth and a little shiny and may score if coloured by a heavy-handed pencil user. Felt-tip pens, inks, paint-pens, and acrylic paints will achieve optimal results. Gel-rollers may also give quite strikingly effects but again heavy-handed use may inadvertently emboss the card. T
