8 Re-Stained Paper Textures
I'm always looking for ways to combine existing textures to make new and interesting resources for you guys. This time around I took a bunch of paper textures, some of them stained, and combined them in layers with different blending modes in Photoshop. I also used a high-res set of watercolor brushes to add a little extra detail. The outcome is a brand new set of textures for you guys to utilize in your designs. I hope you like 'em!
Click on the textures below to download the high-res version or download them all in a zip file at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!

Thank you thank you thank you...these textures are GLORIOUS!!! I'm so glad I found your site! I followed a link in the DST Insider zine...its a dig scrapbooking thing that I usually only grab for the coupons. They have a fabulous tutorial in the April 2010 free mag on aging photos with a link to your site. What a godsend you are! I'd donate right now, but I'm on tichy disability pension. I'll be back though, will donate asap and will refer tons of people!!!

Just wanted to let you know that there are blocks of sections on your site that can't be read. I could tell in a few places that it looked like there were letters in the background. When I "selected" the area, it highlighted the hidden letters. You might consider changing the color of those texts. One of the places I found was just above where you can contribute to PayPal if you like. You could be missing out on a lot of donations because you can't see the information asking for them. Also wanted to let you know that I tweeted your site. Thanks for sharing your work. I have a Zazzle store and plan to use some of the backgrounds in my work. Appreciate all your efforts.
Tried to send this message via your contact, but it wouldn't go through.
