Valentine Cards

[AgapeBible]

Are any of you all here planning on making your own Valentine cards? I am working on making my own Valentine cards for my parents. I went to stores and looked at their cards for inspiration. My mom wrote down what one card said. She really liked it. I am drawing roses on cardstock paper, where my mom wrote the message in pen on the inside. I will color the roses with colored pencils. I have some books on roses that have beautiful pictures of roses for me to copy. Some are art books but others are gardening books. I want to draw a bunch of Valentine art, Valentine princesses in pretty dresses with roses and hearts of them, in pink and red. Hearts and cupids, Valentine angels. I tried drawing an angel of love, she never turns out right. I like flowers, Valentine's day is a good excuse to draw roses.

That sounds like a neat idea. But I probably will end up just buying cards for my parents, grandmother & brother. I used to make cards from cut-outs online & personalize them when I was money-less. This time though, since I have a job, I think I'll buy each of them a present & buy each a nice card. Thanks for reminding me about Valentine's though! Almost forgot about it lol

I like Victorian and vintage valentine cards. I like Victorian stuff. That is when things started to get commercial, greeting cards were first invented, and art began to get mass-produced. I try drawing in that style but it is hard. Sometimes I go for realism other times I make my pictures of people and animals look cartoony, but still nice. Sometimes Valentine's day upsets me becasue I don't have a boyfriend or date. Well, try to focus on the postitive side, and ignore that fact. I'd like to make friends, and talk to friends. Maybe good friends are better than a boyfriend. My mom says it is better to have no man than to have a bad man. Why not focus on God's love for Valentine's Day, after all Christ's love is the best!
