Inkscape Create Parchment Texture.

Created: 15 March 2011  Modified:

If you need a document with a parchment texture you can use the following steps in Inkscape.

  1. Set background color to f5e180ff
  2. Set border color to darker color is you want the edges to look discolored.
  3. Filters -> Texture -> Water Color
  4. If pale spots are too bright for your taste add an object behind the main object with color f5e180ff and transparency 50%.
  5. Lower the new object to the bottom.
  6. If you want the edges to appear burnt add a similarly sized object with a f5e180ff background.
  7. Filters -> Texture -> Water Color
  8. Lower object to the bottom
  9. Create a new object with a f5e180ff background slightly larger than the main object.
  10. Filters -> ABCs -> Black Outline
  11. Lower object to the bottom.
