creating this deck of playing cards was a saga. the madhubani face cards were stunning but intricate, demanding far more patience than i had. layouts felt like visual tetris, and printing was a comedy of errors misaligned elements, holiday-coloured prints, and a box smaller than the cards. through the chaos, i learned to prep files properly, work with printers, and triple-check everything. despite it all, the project exceeded my expectations, and i’m admittedly a little obsessed.
