About Decorative Overlays

There is nothing clever about Decorative Overlays, and that is the compliment: it does what the shelf promises and stops there. Credit goes to SapphireXDesigns. It stands at 5.0 out of 5 across 2 reviews, and we read the low scores first when there are any. 161 saves is a quiet kind of recommendation, and it is the only one we can read off the listing.

A background has to take ink and glue without fighting what goes on top, so the quiet sheets get used far more than the dramatic ones. We would keep it for the project where a printable has to work on the first try. The licence tab and the full-size preview are the whole of our due diligence here, and they take about a minute between them.

Its home here is Textures and Backgrounds — open that shelf if you would rather compare a few before choosing. What this shelf gets asked for is scrapbook background, watercolor background, calligraphy background, vintage background for scrapbook and polaroid background. That list is why these files are here and not some prettier ones. The same shelf also answers to grunge and watercolor background, so widen the search there before giving up on it.

How to use this printable

  1. Download the kit from Creative Fabrica and unzip it — most kits are JPG or PNG pages plus a print-ready PDF.
  2. Print on something heavier than copy paper: 120 gsm and up takes glue and water without buckling.
  3. Print at 100% and keep «fit to page» off — a shrunk sheet throws off every cut-out that was drawn to size.
  4. Tea-stain or sand the edges if the set looks too crisp next to the rest of your journal; vintage paper is never evenly coloured.
