Free AI Tarot Card Art Prompts

a tarot card illustration of [THE CARD NAME], full-figure symbolic scene, portrait orientation, ornate border with an empty title banner at the bottom, flat even lighting, richly detailed color line art, in the style of a classic Rider-Waite deck

The safe baseline. It gives you the tall shape, the frame and the symbolic-scene look that make an image read as tarot instead of a random illustration.

[THE CARD NAME] tarot card, centered symbolic figure, decorative frame, blank cartouche at the bottom for the card name and a blank circle at the top for the Roman numeral, no text, no lettering, 2:3 aspect ratio
