Yet another great digiscrap freebie! This one is commercial use as well. The elements I did not make. If you would like to see where I got them, check out Bluesse on Deviantart. She has some great PNG files!! The alphabet came from here. See more of Jovan Cormac’s Typography work.
The inspiration: I was going through some old books containing 14th – 16th century decorative ornaments, and a Paul Simon song came to mind. It’s called old (lyrics). I no longer have it so I looked on the web for a youtube video or something and could not find it.
Interestingly enough I ran across this Simon and Garfunkel video, which seems fitting.
So yeah, I hope you like this freebie! It looks like it has sort of a monochromatic noise filter thing going on with it when you look at it close up. Idk what was going on with the texture I was working with – did not add the noise filter, lol! So I thought I’d make it a freebie. You can only see the noise when looking at it in full size view.
New goods in my shop:
Now for the freebie!!
Hi, there! This kit is awesome! I love the way old books were decorated so ornately. Wow! You did good! Thank you!

Simon and Garfunkle! You, dear, may be a young woman, but, you have an old soul! LOL This is neat!
Hugs,

Thanks so much Su! I have seen fromoldbooks.org but not the sacred-text.com site. Very cool! Thanks so much. I was looking at this item the other day, it's very interesting: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript
"The Voynich manuscript is a mysterious, undeciphered illustrated book. It is thought to have been written in the 15th or 16th century. The author, script, and language of the manuscript remain unknown."
The Voynich manuscript is quite interesting, thanks for the freebie.
Thank you! They are amazing!
super pretty!
Oh, this kit is GORGEOUS. Please tell me you're planning on making a blog template out of this! I absolutely love the patterns and images. Droolworthy, I tell you.
@Taylor @ Mama Java Thanks so much! I do plan on making a bunch more blogger templates soon. I've been in the process of moving, so things are pretty hectic for me at the moment. I'll definitely consider using this kit. 🙂
Thank you SO MUCH! This is absolutely perfect for my trip to the mission ruins of New Mexico! It's so hard to find appropriate themes the more uniqe subjects. I'm so grateful to you for thinking outside the box and making this set!
You're welcome! Glad you like it – have fun!
