Using Stock Photos for Digi-Scrap Designing

Posted 15 June, 2008

I recently added some stock photos to the products in my store.  If you’ve never used stock photos before while designing your digi-art, maybe now it a good time to give them a try.  Here are three ways you can use these pieces in your art:

1.  Cut an element from the photo to create a set of papers and elements based on that theme.

2.  Use the full photo to create an overlay or a set of overlays to stack together and create terrific textures and designs unlike anyone elses!

3.  Look for interesting  shapes, patterns, or textures in stock photographs and create repeat patterns from them for papers, ribbons, photo mats, and other scrappy elements.

These are just a few ideas to help get you started thinking about how to use stock photos in your creative projects. There are of course more things you can do with them like make brushes too.

Look through the stock photo selection that I have and see if there’s anything you’d like to pick up there.  They are all priced super low!
