How do you make an image look destressed?

[Benr98 40]

I have a 'black heart' that I want to look a bit scratched up.....the heart I found on a font site, can't remember where.

Could someone please explain how to make something like that??

Thanks

Heres a video on how to do that. The video is for illustrator but works the same in inkscape and other programs.
