Rustic masculine cards can feel tricky to design. However, with the Botanical Textures Suite Collection, creating something stylish, textured, and rustic has never been easier!
Today, I’m sharing a card featuring a mix of Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Pecan Pie—a warm, earthy palette that exudes sophistication. The star of the show? The Woven Textures Designer Series Paper, which adds depth and a touch of nature-inspired charm.
WHAT I LOVE! The Layers & Texture – The die-cut layers add so much interest without overwhelming the design. It’s all about the details! A little twine, a single enamel dot, and stitched frame dies pull the entire look together seamlessly.
