Changing the paper and elements from kits

[33bells]

I'm thinking it's ok to change colors to blend with our pages, but wondering how far we can go with the elements. For instance, could we take a flower into a plug in and give it a painterly or sketch look - so long as credit is given to the original designer?

As long as it is only to use on a layout and flattened to a jpg for YOURSELF and not sold or given away I don't see a problem. But that is just my opinion other designers may think differently...

It would be used for myself and sometimes in a layout used on a GDS challenge. I finished the page without needing to do this, but thought it might be useful info for the future.

I completely agree with Vicki! If you on a designers Creative Team, they may prefer you don't do this, but I don't see probs if its for you and correct credit is given.
