This week, I’m sharing a layered card featuring Friendly Foliage, Lasting Linen, and Brushed Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love the texture and dimension that layering adds to this card design.

Layering for Texture and Interest – Embossing and Brushed with Beauty DSP
Layering is one of my favourite ways to create with paper. For this card, I started with a Secret Sea card base and layered Crumb Cake on top. Then I added a Basic White layer embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. This gives a texture you can feel.
Next, I added a layer from the Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper. I chose the Darling Duckling pattern for its soft, delicate design. It provides a lovely contrast to Secret Sea.

Soft Lasting Linen Background
The Lasting Linen background stamp adds a subtle pattern. This creates a soft, textured impression – texture you can see. It’s a simple way to make your card more interesting without overwhelming it.
Friendly Foliage Focal Point
For the focal point, I stamped the Friendly Foliage main image in Secret Sea ink. I then die-cut it with the peek-through frame die. This allows the linen texture to show through, adding depth and layered interest.

Friendly Foliage Inside the Card
Inside the card, I used another Friendly Foliage stamp to create a cute coordinating border in Crumb Cake ink. This ties the inside of the card to the front, keeping the design cohesive and polished.
