It's pretty large, the frame is around 18" square and 1 1/2" or so deep, which allowed plenty of room for dimensional elements. The heart, spade, club and diamond symbols were made by melting coloured UTEE, pouring it onto a craft sheet and then cutting out the shapes with cookie cutters before it hardened. Most of the vintage movie posters/playing cards etc were found online and printed out, then distressed/inked/sanded to make them look older. As ever, click on the image to see a larger view! :)
[Edit to add - The frame is Ribba from IKEA. It comes in a few sizes, all the same depth, maybe an inch and a half or so. I used the 50cm x 50cm one (approx 20" x 20")]
