Gouge and Ink Linocut Valentines
Three 1500x2100 (5x7) cards printed as if from carved lino blocks in oxblood, near black and warm paper: a black heart with dashed contour cuts in a radiating field of gouge marks, two paper white swallows with feather cuts and oxblood throats meeting over a small heart inside broken ripple rings, and a paper rose with spiralling petal cuts on a black stem and veined leaves, all inside a hand nicked double border and set in Caprasimo. Warm, direct and tactile, each card pairs one carved motif with a two part sentiment above and below it.

How to make it yours
- Start with the largest text, set in Caprasimo, and swap in your own words.
- Then rewrite the smaller lines in Caprasimo with your details.
- Replace the 8 photo layers with your own pictures. The film grain stays live, so it applies to your photo too.
- Change the background from #6b1222 to your own colour, then recolour the accents in #191515 and #f2ebdd.
- Keep the 3 pages you need, duplicate the ones you want more of and delete the rest.
- Export a print-ready PDF for the printer, or a PNG to share online.
