Creative Valentine Challenge

[Paint the Sky]

Instead of a fic challenge for Valentines Day, I wondered if you would like to try your hand at creating a Valentine's Card for Willow and/or Tara to send to their special one.

You can use something from BTVS, or take your inspiration from any of the varied and fabulous fics at pens. If you take your idea from a fic, credit the author for their inspiration.

Your card can be humorous, romantic, naughty - whatever takes your fancy.

Valentine's Day is on Saturday 14th Feb, about 4 weeks from now, so hopefully there should be time to get your creative juices flowing.

If you are feeling creative, post your entries in this thread.

Thanks

Ooooh that's the first time I've ever attneded a 'challenge' about Valentine Day
It's more of a poem than a real Valentine card, still it's a love poem that I wrote

Hope you all enjoy!

Valentine

I like this idea. Count me in.

[Nue]

Ok, I´m gonna try ^^

[Paint the Sky]

Did anymore of you come up with something for the challenge?

Surely some of you are romantic or crazy enough to have got something together?

Don't be shy, post your cards - there are two heartbroken witches out there that think they have been forgotten!

Jay, your 'card' is just beautiful, and the poem is a lovely expression of the longing to be with someone.

[Nue]

I did something, gonna post it later ^^

You are truly an artist . . . those images, took my breath away! How do you learn to do that? Amazing stuff.

There is so much random good stuff here..

Ok so I haven't fit the brief exactly but in theory they kind of have/could send them to each other, you'll see why.

I make my cards by hand and I don't have the work space or time or want to make valentines cards so I've written the wording. front/inside. If you want to use them go for it but please credit the Kittenboard. But it's me on a fabricated holiday so don't expect them to be serious.

What's it gonna take to strike a spark?

You know your feelings why does it need a title to legitimise it to others.

Arguments aren't the be all and end all.

Its not the best communication but if you listen without the rage, you'll see where they are coming from.

Air freshener can be an accompanying gift.

Great card for a long term partner, just in case they haven't already worked it out.

I like how this one can be heartfelt but also a massive insult

I suggest posting this one and running to the other side of the street. look through their window while they read it then...

Give a really creepy wave with a smile to match. Bonus points if you've never met the person and just selected a random house.

while it might never be too late to say sorry, you can be too late to say sorry with any sentiment. so you know its worth saying sooner than later but still worth saying.

I mean This one has to work for at least one person in the world.

Its also a great card to give and then make out like you have given it as a joke card but act nervous. really hammer your uncomfortableness down to make them think you're having an affair. a great trick if you feel you aren't getting enough attention. They will watch you like a hawk from then on.

Keep the mystery alive

No poems this year, instead I've designed the covers but naturally provide an insert.
I've focused on long term relationships, the stage where Valentines is a chore and you just want to get on with life.
Surprisingly there's not a lot of competition in this market.

Spoiler:

- Bring the shopping in from the car

- Move the fridge and clean behind it.

Spoiler:

- Because all our arguments seem to be related to minor details of the past.

Spoiler:

Because you spoke over me all fucking evening.

Spoiler:

- So why am I the only one getting up during the night?


Not Valentines related but still a non targeted market

- Its not yours.

One for the silent treatment.
