Essential: Lavender Edition A distant cousin of our beloved Hops & Barley, Essential is a classic deck of cards with an ornate botanical theme, playful colours and some hidden depths. For Essential we wanted to experiment a little, and some of its less obvious features are… Crushed lavender dual-tone tuck box with interior gold foil. The inside of the box is made from a special paper stock with crushed lavender seeds Transparent foiling in multiple layers to create the glass bottle effect on the fronts The first filled backgrounds on any Jocu court cards A little on-theme secret available only when you get these in yours hands

In a charming way the Black Roses Lavenders stand out by their invigorating color. The colorway unfolds its complete beauty on the court cards. A well hidden yet easy to read marking system sets this deck apart from previous editions. Premium (Bee) thin crushed paper stock and traditional cut gives the deck an up to date and modern feel. Fully marked (PDF explanation) Completely custom fronts and backs Premium thin crushed paper stock Air Cushion Finish Traditionally cut Double backer gaff card Two of Diamonds duplicate (unmarked) Hidden revelations on the court cards Printed by the US Playing Card Company

The gilded Black Roses Lavenders have a silver metallic foil on the edges. Some gildings often clash with the deck design. Something I definitely wanted to avoid and silver just looks perfect. It's very classy and elegant without being intrusive. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/danielschneider/black-roses-playing-cards-lavender-edition/posts/3095413
