The map has opened again—and this time it is giving away rather more than directions.
The Coral Atlas: Papers from the Drowned Kingdoms is a free collection of fantasy digital papers, underwater story scenes and printable motifs created for junk journals, scrapbooking, collage, handmade cards and imaginative paper crafts.
This new release expands the same surreal underwater universe as the original Coral Atlas 22-page journal collection and Ten Doorways Beneath the Sea printable bookmarks. If you have already met the little explorer, followed the orange messenger fish or wondered what waits behind those turquoise doors, there are new regions of the drowned kingdoms waiting here.
What Is Included in This Free Digital Paper Collection?
The download contains 18 high-resolution designs:
12 decorative digital papers in 12 × 12-inch square format
4 full-page underwater story scenes in US Letter portrait format
2 printable motif sheets in US Letter landscape format
Coordinated PDF files for convenient home printing
Individual high-resolution 300-DPI JPG files
The square papers include immersive coral cities, drowned maps, shoals of orange messenger fish, secret doors, guardian creatures, moon jellies, impossible botanicals, expedition papers and the curious objects collected by underwater cartographers.
Four New Places in the Coral Atlas Universe
The four illustrated scene papers travel beyond the familiar kingdoms and introduce new locations:
The Railway of Travelling Shells
A tiny explorer watches ornate shell carriages wind through a coral canyon toward destinations that probably do not appear on sensible railway timetables.
The Museum of Forgotten Tides
Moon instruments, glass vessels and the skeleton of an impossible fish wait inside a submerged museum devoted to waters the world has forgotten.

The Orchard of Golden Fish
Bright fish grow among luminous coral branches surrounding a mysterious turquoise door. Whether they are fruit, messengers or guardians is left for your journal to decide.
The Sea Above the Sea
A city hangs beneath a second ocean suspended overhead, proving that the Coral Atlas considers ordinary geography more of a polite suggestion than a rule.

Ideas for Using the Printable Papers and Motifs
These fantasy scrapbook papers can be printed for traditional crafts or used in digital projects. Try them for:
Junk-journal covers and endpapers
Pockets, tuck spots, envelopes and layered pages
Scrapbook layouts and digital collage
Handmade cards and bookish gifts
Art journals and altered books
Tags, labels and decorative clusters
Creative-writing journals and story prompts
Fantasy-themed classroom or homeschool projects
The two motif sheets are especially useful for cutting out turquoise doors, shell keys, fish, coral towers, maps, frames and navigational objects. Layer them over the quieter papers, tuck them into journal pockets or turn them into small focal points for cards and collage.

How to Print Your Coral Atlas Papers
The 12 × 12-inch papers are supplied at 3600 × 3600 pixels and 300 DPI. You can print them at full size through a suitable print service or reduce them to fit A4 or US Letter paper for home crafting.
The scene pages and motif sheets are already formatted for US Letter paper. Choose Actual Size or 100% scale in your printer settings when exact sizing matters, and disable automatic “Fit to Page.” For the richest colour, use good-quality matte presentation paper or lightweight cardstock. Ordinary copy paper is useful for layering and test prints.
A New Chapter in The Coral Atlas
Papers from the Drowned Kingdoms is designed to coordinate with the entire Coral Atlas range. Combine it with the original journal kit to add more backgrounds and locations, or pair it with the Ten Doorways bookmarks to create reading journals, literary gifts and complete handmade folios.
This is a world we will continue to explore through new printable collections, story cards, art and curious documents. Each product adds another piece to the map rather than simply repeating the same coral in a different hat.
