Alright, here's my entry. It's very image heavy, so I apologize in advance.


My supplies. I also used a blue pen too, but it's not pictured.


First, I sketched out the Lunemara using my Bottled Moonlight Lune named Shine as a reference.



Next, I cut out the Lunemara, a moon, and some hearts.


Then, I taped the Lunemara and hearts to the moon.


Lastly, I colored in the Lunemara and wrote a message on the moon, which reads: "Valentine, I love you to the Lune and back!"

Drew a rough idea of a kelpari couple.



Used this to make a better version.


Completed the new version.




Started coloring.


Finished coloring and cut it out. Wrote with a sharpie using a pretty font I found.


Glued the kelparies on for the front of the card.




Inside of the card.

I've had the flu this entire festival, so very last second entry here lol.

I am bad about taking in progress pictures of drawing stuff, so only a few pictures.


Have a random hair stuck to my gel pen case, too.


The 'front'


Annd the fold out. In honor of my inability to get any wings. =P

Here's my entry! =D

Drawing Zolnixies, as you all can imagine for Feathy to do!

Cutting the drawings~~ what's going to happen?

Mmm? What's that? Where did the nixies go??

Oh look! Are they Guardians?
"There. Done"



......where are the nixies?

Just joking!! When you light up from behind..........


A shadow art that had popped in my mind!


......what's that in the bottom middle???

It says....

I am a broken heart
This is to all who I love
I wish for all your happiness
And the smile and joy for you
I am a broken heart
I loved, hated, and loved
I ran, faced, and ran
I am a broken heart
You taught me love
Though I did nothing
This is no poem, haiku, nor story
This is nothing but my memories and feelings
You broke my heart, but did not leave me

Thank you for staying by my side

This was so much fun to do! May you all have a happy (late) Valentine! =D

Getting supplies (safety scissors bc I almost died the last time I used scissors)
Cut out a heart and watercolored it

Glued on a haiku

Almost forgot to finish my valentine! So glad the festival was extended!







Aaaaannnd the final!

Step 1: Write a poem.


Step 2: Pencil in some illuminated capitals and ink them.



Step 3. Finished and scanned!

Edited to explain the steps. Apologies!

Really last minute, but I still wanted to submit one :D

Gathering supplies


Got some things cut out, in case it's hard to tell, the big red heart is two separate pieces cut to look like a Puffadore's tail :3


Everything is cut out, so here is the rough lay out...


And finally I glued it all together, so without further adue, the finished product XD
Front

Back


In case my cursive is too sloppy to read, it says Hey Valentine, Don't go breaking my heart

It didn't turn out quite as Valentine's-y as I meant.. It is supposed to be like an encyclopedia or journal entry. Used colored pencils.



Several sketches.


Coloring~


It's a garden bulb! Or is it??



Surprise!~



The text on the front of the card reads:

"The amorous bulborous camouflages itself as an unsuspecting garden bulb for planting. When approached by another of its kind, the amorous bulborous will spring forth, shedding its disguise in a surprising and adorable feat that will instantly capture any admirer's heart."

See, like a journal / research / encyclopedia entry. She's a bulb, get it? An -amorous bulborous- to be exact! *crickets chirp*

I know it may seem simple, but the logistics of the camouflage and surprise took me a while to decide how to do it. Thanks for the fun game!
