#Looking for help implementing a visual effect

Hey, I'm currently writing a mod that is just going to be for a little in-joke for my friend group about a baseball player that they follow.

I'm writing the mod using Steammodded, I have the card art and jokers added and I'm trying to implement the joker effects now.

One of the effects I'm trying to create involves buffing a card in hand when its played. The buff is easy to code, It's basically the same effect as "Hiker."

What I wanted to ask for help with is a visual effect. I would like it if the card that got buffed would have a signature added to it to show that it received the buff. I assume that can be accomplished by creating a new "seal" like effect and I could add the signature to the card the same way you would add a seal.

What I assume might be difficult and ultimately maybe not supported by steammodded is that I think it would be funny if every time a card gets buffed another signature is applied to it with a random rotation and offset, allowing you to have cards that are covered in a bunch of signatures.

Is that something that would be possible to do using Steammodded, and does anyone know what functions I should be looking at in the documentation or examples from other mods that I could look at for examples of something similar?

adding a custom sticker might be the simplest way to do this

otherwise setting some property on the card's ability and adding a draw step would help
