Arte Nova is a new experiment in playing card design, featuring AI generated art combined with hand-crafting and extensive design work. Limited to only 100 decks printed in total, the Pearl Edition is a series of 50 decks with an elegant pearl cardstock with a light version of the Arte Nova archway motif. The front of the box features a richly printed, organic art nouveau design that is a light colored version of the unique artwork featured on its sister deck, the Black Label. The box also features a rich pearlescent white cardstock paper, laser-cut details, hand numbering and a signature by designer Paul Carpenter. The cards are printed on a 300gsm German paper, with an air-cushion finish that handles extremely well (if you are so bold to open one of these decks…). The cards are fully custom, with hand drawn details, rich court art and unique pips. In addition, each Pearl Edition deck comes in a protective crystal clear sleeve from Carat Cases, with a classic holographic Encarded Special Edition seal. An embossed, signed vellum certificate of authenticity is included. Only 50 of these decks exist, and most were given to Patreon supporters for the 2022 annual reward. Only a handful of these beautiful creations will be made available to the public.
