I have very little ability to create pictures in my mind at all. The best I can normally do is a vague hint of shape. I have a very few memories that are clearer but not much. I think mainly in words and patterns. However I can 'visualize' how mechanisms work or the patterns in a computer program. I don't 'see' anything but I can still follow exactly how they work.

5. Close your eyes and try to recall what details look like. If it's a face card, what color are the eyes? What is the left hand holding?
6. Open your eyes and look at the card. Compare your recall with it.
Do this until you can accurately recall what the cards look like, including flaws like ragged corners or scratches. Change decks frequently, including the type of deck, if you can.
I could do that but I would be relying on a description of the card rather than a picture.

I would probably not have a problem doing that. I would build up a mental model of what I am feeling though it again would not have an associated image.
