20 Grungy Newspaper Collages Journal Pages

Ink Ruin is a collection of 20 grungy newspaper collage journal pages inspired by aged newsprint, layered paper scraps, ink sketches, stained documents, and worn ephemera. The designs combine torn newspaper textures, faded headlines, handwritten notes, ink blotches, scratches, and distressed paper surfaces to create printable journal pages with a raw vintage look. The focus is on texture, contrast, and imperfect details, avoiding clean layouts or decorative patterns.

These pages can be used for junk journals, printable journals, digital journaling, scrapbooking, collage art, mixed-media projects, altered books, zines, vintage-style covers, and background layers for digital or print work. They also work well as distressed paper backgrounds for planners, inserts, ephemera packs, handmade stationery, wall art, and illustrations that need the look of aged paper, ink stains, and layered newsprint.
