Vintage Romance: A Timeless Way to Say "You Are My Forever"
In a world of digital messages and instant texts, there is something incredibly grounding about the vintage aesthetic. For this design, I wanted to turn back the clock and create something that feels like a keepsake you might find tucked away in an old love letter box from the Victorian era.
This greeting card features a classic botanical border of deep red roses and blue violets—symbols of love and faithfulness—set against a soft, antique cream background. But the real charm lies in the details.
I chose a variation of the classic poem that speaks to enduring commitment: "Roses are red, Violets are blue, You are my FOREVER, My one and my true."
To complete the look, I added a delightful illustration of a cherubic Cupid with his bow and arrow right at the bottom. It adds just the right amount of whimsy and nostalgia.
If you want to move away from the bright, neon aesthetic of modern Valentine’s Day aisles and give something with a bit more soul and history, this design is for you. It’s perfect for long-term partners, anniversaries, or anyone who appreciates the romance of the past.
