Happy Thursday! Today I have an awesome gift to share with you! My friends at Vecteezy put together an incredible set of 8 seamless ink texture patterns just for Every-Tuesday readers! I got so excited after I received them that I started playing around with them right away (see below). This free set comes not only as ai files, but eps files, psd files, a photoshop pat file *and* png files. Instructions on how to use them + ideas for use are all below!
Pin it for later!
I’ve also put this set in the Resource Library if you’re an Every-Tuesday subscriber and would like to pick it up later. Please note that because this set is packed to the brim with file options, the size of the download is on the larger side. To ensure a full, successful download, you’ll need a reliable internet connection, and don’t open the zip file until the download has fully finished. Since this *is* a zip file, you’ll need to be on a desktop or laptop computer, and you’ll need Photoshop or Illustrator to best utilize the files.

Hi Teela,
Thank you so much! I love these patterns!
Would you mind explaining how you changed the colour of the pattern?
Thank you

Thanks for checking them out! I filled a rectangle with the pattern in Illustrator, pasted it in Photoshop and applied a color overlay to the mockup images. In Illustrator, you could also object > expand the artwork and apply a color to it if you’d like to keep things in Illustrator 🙂

Teela, you are the real deal!
Loving your site. Beautiful, down-right flawless aesthetic.
I’m not a designer by trade but you make me want to become one 😉 Grateful for the freebies as well. Will be sure to return the favor in some way ⚡️

Hello Teela,
These designs are perfect for my black and white scrapbook =D love ’em.
Just to clarify, are we allowed to use these designs on products we want to sell? For free?
Best regards

Yes, as long as they’re not the main reason someone would buy that item (can’t be the ‘core’ component of the design)
