Free background paper, anyone?

Some people have been kind enough to email me about the background paper I made for the pink and brown Theme Thursday challenge. I thought it could be fun to make the paper available for download so others can use it in their projects.

Free background paper for collages, scrapbooking and mixed media art

If anyone wants it, here is the Letter version (for Americans) and here is the A4 one (for the rest of the world). Be aware that both files, which come in high-resolution PDF format, are relatively big (about 10 MB) so they may take a while to download. If you can’t bear the wait, a slightly lower res version is also available in JPG format (here for Letter, and here for A4).

If you do use this paper, I’d love to see what you make with it—just post a comment below with a link to your blog or picture trail, or email me to let me know what you have done. A link back to this blog post would also be much appreciated.

Oh, and one more thing: I found the paper worked best when printed on a suitably thick matte paper.

This is so very pretty, I love it. Thank you for sharing. I am curious about your Italian vintage finds? We spent most of August in Italy. Oh my gosh, what a beautiful place!
