Pastel, luminous papers

Last weeks i made new papers for scrapbook kits and romantic frames for photoshop. The papers or backgrounds can be used for templates, scrapbooks or 3D texturizing. Some are simples, made with brushes, others are printed or laced, with an aged touch. I selected 2 packs for my blog, but you find more on Lord of design site, see the link under My favorite sites. Hope you like the Pastel papers, shabby, clean, delicate and the old, little grunge Luminous textures. Because their dimensions I had to upload them in winrar. Follow the link to download them. It take few minutes. You can use them without restrictions.

New free shabby textures

This is an interesting set: aged, little grunge, little faded, in white, beige and greenish colors. Can be used in many ways, but I had in mind a shabby chic project when I made it. I think I'll use it in my first scrapbook kit too, the 6 textures are the papers I need.

When I was looking for shabby chic textures on Internet for my furniture in Second Life I did not find many. I saw a lot of floral patterns, but once you apply them in Photoshop they look new and shiny.
Then I started to age them myself, learning this way to work with brushes and multiple layers. I used at least 10 layers for every single textures in this pack, but sometimes I needed more.
I would like to make my own vectors and patterns, but my CS2 has its limits. I have to buy the latest version and then... OMG ... what a joy! I'll be lost in Illustrator, playing like a child in a toys store.

Until then I hope you enjoy these "toys". Because the textures are very large, I had to upload them in Winrar archive, on Hotfile site. No need to have premium account to download them, just choose the slow mode, wait few seconds and Download. In few minutes is done.

Shabby textures for photoshop

These textures look pretty old and damaged.
The paintings seems to be hidden by the time under layers of dust, a treasure waiting to be discovered.
Well, at least this is what I wanted to suggest but I am not sure that I did it. 

To create them, I first made a canavas, then I put paintings images on it, playing with the Blending mode, and other layers with grunge brushes and frame corners.
I like the result.

These textures are good for blog or web backgrounds and also for scrapbook or photo album pages.
The shabby chic fans may find them useful too.

In Second Life I would use them framed, or for making pillows, tablecloths, cabinet doors, in a shabby furniture set.
