For a sample, I created a frame with two intertwined gold chains. The frame includes shadows to give that realistic 3D effect. The result is in PNG format so you can use it with any program.

Give your text and designs the look of old metal printing type with the Metal Type Script. Use any font or custom design, choose from four different metal finishes, and add optional colored residue for a worn, well-used look. Create individual characters, coordinated sets, decorative designs, or even blank metal blocks, with plenty of variation from one piece to the next.
For a sample, I created a set of two digits, plus a hyphen so you can add dates, age, countdown, price, and more. I used a narrow font so it won't take too much space on your project.
Sometimes the simplest ingredients can create the most surprising results. The new Random Texture Generator script lets you create unlimited custom textures using just 2, 3, or 4 colors of your choice. Each run produces a unique result, making it easy to generate coordinating backgrounds, papers, overlays, and artistic textures for any project. Whether you're looking for soft watercolor effects, nature-inspired textures, or abstract backgrounds, this script gives you endless combinations to explore.
To help you get started, this week's freebie includes three full-size texture papers created with the script. Featuring water, fire, and earth-inspired color palettes, these papers are ready to use in your scrapbook layouts, cards, and creative projects. Enjoy them as they are, or use them as inspiration for your own color combinations!
