Giveaway! 29 Free Textured Papers. Comment to Win.
I do a lot of splattering, searing, and soaking to make the paper textures you see here on L+T and on Bittbox. But after I'm done taking pictures/scanning the physical paper I really don't have much use for it. So I'm going to give them away!
A few ideas about what to do with the paper:
- Use them in scrapbooks (I know there are at least a few scrapbookers that browse this site)
- Modify them and make your own textures.
- Pretend they are pieces of art, frame them, and stare at them for hours on end trying to figure out what they are trying to convey.
- Make beautiful paper airplanes.
- Sell them on Ebay (hey, they're yours after all)
Perhaps you can think of a better idea than what's listed above. Here's a preview of what you'll get in the mail:

I'd like to see more old books and possibly leaves.
I hope I get some to hang up! :)
I like the old book idea, but I am very interesting in the book cover textures, and how the edges get worn.
more rusted metal, please!
How about some soft, less edgy/contrasty watercolors?
Nature..leaves, plants, water, anything like that.
more acrylic, watercolours & oil textures...those are awesome!!
Granite/more stone texture
cloth/fabric materials :)
water colors and more bokeh would be cool
I love the idea of old books covers and there is a shortage of good cloth and fabric textures
Hi there! these textured papers seem marvelous.
I hope I'm the one who get it.
btw, keep rocking guys!
I'd love to see more urban textures, pavement, concrete, streets, gnarly old signs, painted walls, that kind of thing.

Hi there!
I'd love to see some antique fabric texte=ures :)
btw, that paper texture looks fantastic!
I'd also love to see some fabric textures! Keep up the great work, I love all your stuff!
I was just looking for a old school movie textures, the grainy style with the lines ect. I am gonna import my image in iMovie and see if if I can add the filter and export, I want it to look kinda cheesy. So I would say film textures.
I would love to see more tea-stained paper and concrete textures.
I would like to see more abstract/metal textures. Nice papers! :D
macro images of skin and flesh textures.
Bark and mineral textures. Metals like copper interpreted as textures.
Watercolors...so many watercolors!
Books and papers!
Some textures of individual brush strokes, watercolours. Fabric textures are also really interesting to use and play with.
Breathtaking photo! Love the look of these. I always love to see gravel or dirt textures. Also regular paper textures are always win :)
i would love you to post some more... 'vintage' textures (for want of a better word!) i'm thinking of things like a bundle of old receipts, or old lettering on something all jumbled up. maybe.
otherwise you have great taste!
and if i win these, i'm going to perfect bind them as best i can and use them as a sketchbook as i can't stand the blank page!
