8 of clubs.
For this task, I used paint, to make my own 8 of clubs, which is shown below. First, I made three circles and a triangle and grouped them together. I copyed it and pasted another club. I flipped one of them, so one of them was upside down, which is the same as on the real card.
I clicked on the add text button and presses the 8 key. I copyed that and placed one 8 in the top left corner and the other in the bottom right corner. I then placed the clubs, where they needed to go.

Some advantages of doing a digital art, is that you can undo any mistakes, by using the erasers or by pressing the undo buttons. You don't have to go to the tap to change the water to wash your paint brush, or get up and wash your paint brush everytime you change colour. You can also upload your artwork straight away, instead of waiting for the paint to dry, then scanning through to the computer and then uploading it to the internet.
You can also send it straight to friends or family.
