Inspired by Artsy Papers

You can use Artsy Papers from ArtPlay Palettes to inspire the foundations of your artistry and digital scrapbooking designs.

The DigitalART by Anna Aspnes Designs can really resonate personally.

Moment of Pause

‘Bloom Grow’ was inspired by an Artsy Paper from ArtPlay Palette Love Story.

  • Place an Artsy Paper on a new layout foundation and simply observe.
  • Notice the colors, textures and any thematic component present in the Artsy Paper design.
  • A moment of pause offers the opportunity to all your idea to percolate and think about photos that might coordinate well with a particular background.
  • The Artsy Paper in this layout inspired my selection of some recent Botanical Garden images.
  • You can also place additional Transfer and Overlays from ArtPlay Palette Love Story to heighten the visual interest of an Artsy Paper.
