Inspiration for using the ArtPlay Swell Inspiration for digital scrapbooking and photo artistry in Adobe Photoshop and Elements.

ArtPlay Swell Inspiration

1. Extend Your Theme

Use elements from the ArtPlay Palette to extend the theme of your photo artistry page.

• The twig Embellishment from ArtPlay Palette Swell makes for a great place for the photo subject to sit.
• Notice how the blue flower Catches the Eye and creates a Focal Point in this digital scrapbooking page.
• We also love the placement of the Oasis No. 2 brushes to create a Landscape and further support the Theme.

2. Embellish Image Edges

Place digital art elements along the edges of a blended image to create intentional transitions in your digital scrapbooking layout designs.

• It’s difficult to create a Seamless Blended Image between 2 different colors in your photo artistry pages
• You can ease this Transition by placing digital art supplies along the Edges of a blended image.
• Notice how Adryane as placed transfers and overlays from ArtPlay Palette Swell to create an artsy ‘frame’ to her photo.

3. Framed Partial Extraction

Create an extraction over a blended photo and add a frame to create a focal point.

• Clip a photo to a FotoBlendz clipping mask or Custom Blend your photo.
• Duplicate the image, Create an Extraction, and apply a Drop Shadow Layer Style to create dimension.
• Place a Frame element between the 2 images and Erase areas of the extracted images as needed.
