Cards and envelopes go hand in hand, and this guide shows how to draw a Valentine card with envelope together in one composition. The folded greeting card stands in front, decorated with hearts of various sizes on its pink surface. Behind it sits a white envelope at an angle, ready to hold the card. Learning to draw a Valentine card with envelope creates a complete greeting illustration rather than just individual elements.

- Red highlights new additions
- Black marks completed sections
Start with the card shape first since it sits in front. Draw the folded greeting card at a slight angle with the opening visible at top. The hearts scatter across the front with one larger heart in the center and smaller ones around it. Position the envelope behind, angled differently so both shapes remain visible. When you draw a Valentine card, keep the heart sizes varied. Sketch lightly in pencil, ink your lines, then erase. Use soft pink for the card, deeper red for hearts, and cream or white for the envelope.
