Pack of Cards - Celtic Mythology

Tasked to create a pack of Bridge sized playing cards based off a certain type of art style. I chose the celtic art style and then let that give me inspiration for my topic where I chose celtic mythology.
I had to create a king, queen, jack, ace, a number card and then the back of a card. Each face card had to be a different suit and the ace had to be whatever one I had missed.
Each face card contains the same brooch design around the cape's of their clothing.
Aengus, God of Love
King of Hearts
Green relating to Spring

As the King of Hearts is based from the god of love he has hearts floating around his head.
Tailtu, God of Earth
Queen of Spades
Blue relating to Winter

As the Queen of Spades is based from the god of the Earth she is carrying vines in her hand.
Belenus, God of Sun
Jack of Diamonds
Yellow relating to Autumn/Fall

As the Jack of Diamonds is based from the god of the Sun he holds a floating orb of light in his hands and his hair forms a similar shape to the sun's flares.
Number card 4

Red relating to Summer
