The Rustic Style


The Rustic style is about worn wooden walls and rutsy nails. In Scandinavia – with all the wooden houses – this style fits nicely.

Can be used for all occasions, but is often used on men’s cards.

Motif

Paper projects within the rustic style often have a motif that can be added to a rustic touch. It can be keys, locks, watches and various tools. The motifs also tend to have a masculine feel.
