Without resin and card (7)
I believe the answer is:
lacking
'without' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'resin and card' is the wordplay.
'resin' becomes 'lac' (resin secreted by lac insects).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'card' becomes 'king' (type of playing card).
'lac'+'king'='LACKING'
(Other definitions for lacking that I've seen before include "Being without, wanting" , "Absent, deficient" , "Deficient or inadequate" , "Missing" , "'Deficient, wanting (7)'" .)
