Abuela Chela's Tamales Oaxaqueños Recipe Card
A 1500x1050 landscape recipe card, front and back, on masa cream with mole brown and banana leaf green: the front pairs a Caprasimo title and bilingual Spanish and English ingredient columns in Schibsted Grotesk with a still life of a veined banana leaf, two corn husks, a folded leaf tamal parcel and an opened tamal showing masa and mole negro; the back carries six numbered steps with English subtitles and a full height mole brown panel holding the Christmas Eve tamalada note over a leaf and parcel. Warm, handed down and specific to Oaxaca, it reads like a family recipe card, Spanish first with quieter English italics beneath.

How to make it yours
- Start with the largest text, the "Headline" layer set in Caprasimo, and swap in your own words.
- Then rewrite "Method heading" (Caprasimo) and "Note heading" (Caprasimo) with your details.
- There are no photos to replace, the design is built from type and shapes.
- Change the background from #f4ead2 to your own colour, then recolour the accents in #4a2c1d and #7a5a44.
- Keep the 2 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.
