Edwardian Forget-Me-Not Valentine Card with Envelope & Hearts

The decision to suspend tiny red hearts like ornaments around the border of the card—as if emotion itself needs to be weighted down and displayed—sets the tone for an valentine that screams 'I am deeply unwell.' Forget-me-nots are arranged into a heart wreath and slapped behind an envelope sealed with what appears to be a pink cameo, all framed by a gold border dripping with these miniature cardiac charms like some kind of Victorian emotional hostage situation. The envelope is addressed 'To my Valentine' in the kind of cursive that takes itself very seriously, and the poem below—'Forget thee? No never! How could I forget / When the sun in the heaven / Thine impress has set?'—manages to be simultaneously grandiose and baffling, essentially comparing your beloved to a brand burned into the sky. The striped background gives the whole thing the vibe of a very romantic prison cell, which, honestly, tracks.
