I've started to experiment making collage sheets to use as backgrounds in journals. I've saved these with a white background so they can be printed on any colour paper. I think they look best on an aged looking parchment type paper or something tea dyed. These ones are just random ads but I plan to do some themed ones. Drop me a message on Instagram or facebook ( @redwoodretro for both) if you have any requests.  I do try to keep some in stock in my Ebay store at a low price ( to cover ink and paper) if you like pre-made stuff :) 1919 Canada
