getting creative with graphicstock
Thank you to GraphicStock for sponsoring today’s post and inspiring me to unlock the unlimited image possibilities!
As you all well know by now, I am a crafty being at heart. A little less know fact, perhaps, is that I love online sites and tools that inspire and nurture my creativity...Pinterest, design seeds, craft gawker...all help make it a little easier for me to be my most creative self.
Today, I want to share one other site with you all that I love...GraphicStock! GraphicStock is an affordable, subscription-based stock media site that gives you unlimited access to stock graphics, vectors, infographics and more (over 250,000 images at last count)! On my GraphicStock homepage, here is a screenshot of some of the images recommended to me...
GraphicStock is offering a free 7 day trial, so you can access images for your business, Summer get together, or crafty lifestyle. But before we get into the details, I wanted to share something I created with one of my GraphicStock downloads...
Cute, right? I started at GraphicStock and searched for "wreaths." Here's a screenshot of the one I chose...
I opened it up in Photoshop Elements, opened a new 8x10 document, and dragged the wreath onto the page...
I then typed in my text and added a gold overlay, though that is completely optional...I think any of the colors in the wreath would be great for the text as well!
And that's it! An easy project that'll add a fun dose of spring to my home decor.

I love the watercolor backgrounds! They make a great addition to the quotes and printables I create for my website, and Facebook posts. I think this one is my favorite - http://www.graphicstock.com/stock-image/watercolor-hand-painted-corners-design-watercolor-composition-for-scrapbook-elements-with-empty-space-for-text-message-154481.html
I would TOTALLY find a project to base around these aztec prints! Always looking for new projects for my blog (Link on my name).

I'd love to make nursery artwork for my niece with this: http://www.graphicstock.com/stock-image/unique-vector-flower-font-amazing-hand-drawn-alphabet.html
I love the wreath image! Definitely going to look into this.
I love this, what a great shortcut to start with the wreath graphic. Will you be explaining how to make gold text? It's so pretty!
There are so many choices! And what a great way to decorate your home.
Thanks for the info!
I think I'd like to play around with this (http://www.graphicstock.com/stock-image/seamless-pattern-in-islamic-style.html) and some water color.
