Assorted Images in Microslide Format

April 8th, 2008 by Editor | 6 Comments | Filed in Microslides

Random vintage designsA big thank you to all who have contacted me with thank-you messages. I’m having a lot of fun putting these free digital collage sheets together for you and have many more waiting in the wings.

This collage sheet features an assortment of vintage images that have been artistically cropped for use in microscope slide jewelry, which remains a popular craft.

I think they also make nice bookmarks; glue them onto perforated paper, embellish them with decorative stitching, and you have an attractive and useful gift for the reader in your life.

Note: The full-size images may be found in my clip art download shop.

French Botanical Collage SheetLike a breath of fresh air, these vintage botanical images are from an antique field guide to common French flowers. Perfect for country French cottage crafts, they would look lovely decoupaged onto painted wood furniture.

As are all of the free collage sheets that you’ll find here at FreeCollageSheets.com, this printable page is a PDF download. The image resolution on the collage sheets ranges from 266-300 pixels per inch, which should be fine for the home printer.

If you need help or would just like to say “Hi”, use the handy-dandy contact form to send your message. And of course, to find additional images to compliment these floral images, visit my clip art shop.

Marbled Paper Background Collage Sheet

April 5th, 2008 by Editor | No Comments | Filed in Backgrounds

Marbled Paper Collage SheetThey say that one should never judge a book by it’s cover, an old chestnut that still holds true. This free collage sheet is adapted from the interior decorative end papers of antique books, most of which had rather bland covers. And because I couldn’t bear to use the original pages I scanned them. They came out nicely and print great.

These backgrounds were sized for Artist Trading Card (ATC) size (2.5 by 3.5), and could be used as a background for a collage or to pretty up the reverse side of an ATC.
