First time using waterslide paper!! Loved it! Used images I bought from an artist on Etsy, MyLemaris! A link to her shop is in the comments!

Pixabay Open Clip Art Library Creative Market
  1. Over 270,000 free photos, vectors and art illustrations
    Here are a few that I've used for designing books and other paper products. Creative Market - this one has different licensing options so check that. No cost to set up an account. Just an email. Pixabay- I used this one a lot for various things. Almost all of the images are free for commercial use with no attribution required. No licensing fees. No cost to set up. You can even download images without an account but if you want the highest resolution available, you have to sign up with an email. Design Cuts - Free and paid/license graphics. Commercial use allowed. No cost to set up. Open Clipart - Free for commercial use. No cost to set up. Design Bundles - free and paid graphics. Commercial use allowed. No cost to set up. One word of caution. Even if you find a free graphic on a site that allows for commercial use, I would still do a reverse google image search to see if the same graphic shows up on a paid site. There were a few times where I wanted to use some free image and when I did a search, it showed up on many, many sites both paid and free and sometimes uploaded by different people. So if I was ever in doubt about its creator, I wouldn't use it. On Pixabay, once you click on an image you're interested in, if you scroll to the bottom of that page, on the right column, you'll see when it was published to the site and if it's a photo, it'll show you the type of camera used. You'll also see the owner and there's a link to message them if you want to be extra sure about something. I did that a few times and it helped clear up a few things when I was in doubt. Hope these help and that you find what you're looking for.
