Computer Art for Crafters Crafty Tip
Layering design elements can bring an added sense of dimension to two-dimensional surfaces. Using our designs as an example: First, start by importing your primary image (a digital photo for instance) into a graphics program. Using word art with a transparent background, import it onto your palette as a top layer. Place a portion of the word art over a lighter part of your primary image, allowing the balance of the image to extend beyond the boundary of your primary image.
Once you have it just the way you like it, print it out on your best printer setting, and apply!

When buying clipart, insist on vector art. Why? Because a jpeg can only be sized 100% larger than it is. Vector art can be sized as large as a billboard and never loose resolution!

Computer Art for Crafters Crafty Tip
If you plan on creating items to sell from free images you have found on the Internet, make sure that they are copyright and royalty free. Copyright free means that the original owner no longer controls who can use their image and what can be done with it. Royalty free means the person who created an image still enjoys copyright protection and typically sells the picture to others, but does not require additional charges for using their image. If you are looking for free images to use with your crafts, look for terms like copyright free and public domain to ensure that the images are truly free to use and simply not "borrowed" from their original owner.
Copyright laws vary from country to country and what may be no longer under copyright in one country may still be protected in another.
