Laura Perin is tempting us with a glimpse of her new piece, "Ace of Diamonds," which is a diamond filled geometric in icy blues and purples. It's lovely but I can't help thinking what a magnificent set of playing card backs this might make.

By the way, don't forget Laura's older designs. As she demonstrates here, they are timeless and also fun color exercises.

You can buy the chart directly from her website if your shop doesn't have it in stock yet.
