I gave it my best, after getting the idea of turning the card on its
size.  The result is the following 7-liner (still too big for a sig
imo, but others use sigs this large):
                                
[~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~__~~~~|~<3~] _
[     |\,,===\ \\ \---///<_[<p  | __ ][_ |    _ |  _  _ _
[     |:=:^'= > H  \-///  @ ||  | /\ ][_ |>|~ <||~|<|| | |  ,
[     |/`====/  H.m w`H  /====./|    ]___  __  _ _  _  . ,-'
[ \/  |  ||_@_ ///-\  H < =.v:=:|    ] |  '-  | | | <| | | 
[ ~~  |  d>]_>///---\ \\ \===''\|    ]~~~ --' ,----------'
[__&>_|__~~_&>__________________|____] ( The King of Hearts )

It's a tad bit "flat", but contains the most detail off of a real
card that I can get, while shortenning it as much as I can.

Of course, the lettering can be changed however you see fit; and, in
"theory", it would work better with 9 lines (although it'd be an even
larger sig; use the extra lines to give white space around the king
figure).

Peace
