How to Use These Free Surreal Images
To make the most of these printables, try printing them on textured matte paper for a dreamy finish or tea-stained paper for an extra vintage look. Each image pairs beautifully with torn book pages, stitched fabrics, and metallic embellishments for added dimension.
For junk journaling, cut out the elements to create themed vignettes across your spreads—perhaps a steampunk garden scene or a butterfly emerging from a clockwork bloom. Add lace, washi tape, and rubber stamps for layers that feel alive.
These images also work well for cardmaking, planner dashboards, bookmarks, and mixed-media collages. You can even use them as inspiration for handmade tags or as a feature in themed scrapbooks.
