In this whimsical Valentine's Day greeting card illustration, imagine a sprawling, vibrant field of blue hydrangeas, their spherical blooms densely packed and stretching across the entire scene, each flower painted in varying shades of cerulean, cobalt, and hints of periwinkle, with delicate touches of lavender at their edges.

In the foreground, a charming, hand-drawn couple stands, seemingly lost within this vast field of blue blooms. The gentleman, donned in an old-fashioned, slightly exaggerated suit reminiscent of Norman Rockwell’s characters, is down on one knee, presenting a small heart-shaped box, drawn with intricate detail and adorned with a red ribbon, to his delighted partner. The lady, wearing a whimsical dress with flowing layers similar to the fanciful garments in Arthur Rackham's works, gazes down, her expression filled with detail and expression in the style of Quentin Blake’s illustrations.

The sky above is a Maxfield Parrish-inspired wash of soft pastels transitioning from a golden glow near the horizon to a rich twilight blue above. Fluffy clouds drift lazily, painted with intricate, swirling lines reminiscent of Gustave Doré’s engravings. The sun, depicted as a radiant, golden sphere, casts long shadows across the field, accentuating the textures of the hydrangea blooms.

To one side, a small wooden sign pokes out from among the flowers, the letters "CAROLE" carved meticulously into its surface, painted in a rich burgundy, standing out against the wood’s natural grain, detailed and slightly weathered, as though it’s been a part of this enchanted landscape for years.

In the distance, a quaint cottage peeks through the hydrangeas, with a thatched roof and a cobblestone path leading up to it, dotted with daisies and buttercups for an extra splash of color. A solitary tree, twisted and gnarled like something out of Beatrix Potter’s landscapes, stands beside it, its branches gently draping over the scene, adding depth and dimension.

This greeting card is an expressive, playful scene capturing the magic of a Valentine’s Day filled with natural beauty and romantic gestures, all anchored in a landscape of vibrant, blooming hydrangeas.
