In today’s video, I’m sharing how to create a vintage-inspired Valentine card using distress ink layering, stamping, and collage techniques. Starting from a plain white sheet of cardstock, I build a rich, distressed background with ink blending, ink smooshing, text stamping, and splatter, then finish the design with bright red hearts and layered mini tags for a classic vintage look.
