Exploring the Card
The image of the card is a little tongue-in-cheek, but gives a good pretext to draw two glasses for two cups. Someone drops a little amortentia potion into two champagne glasses. Of course for the true meaning of the card both drinkers would have to be in the know and comfortable with that.
Visual Description
The card shows two tall, cut-crystal goblets standing side by side on a tabletop. A hand from above holds a small bottle labeled "amor" and pours a single drop toward the nearer glass; swirling decorative flourishes frame the scene. At the top and bottom are small symbolic glyphs, and the title printed at the bottom reads "2 Love."
