Using pre-made templates and a commercial use license you can make your own digital paper pattern designs to either sell or use as freebies.
I have 800+ pattern overlays that are ready made for easy quick designing. And my commercial use license let's you customize them to sell when you make your own finished creation.
Simply add a color, texture or gradient background to the pattern template. Then re-color the pattern or use a blend mode depending on your software's capabilities. (some beginner level design knowledge is required here).
My top recommendation for creating new designs is Photopea, a free online editor with the same tools that come with Photoshop. But these PNG file overlays can be used in almost any program, you just need the right editing options in your own preferred choice of design software.
Side note: unfortunately Canva's toolbox isn't quite there yet so you might struggle to create the design options you want over there.
Here are just a few ways you can use these pattern templates:
1. Simple color combos. Place the pattern on a solid color background and use a color wash over the pattern. Get creative and add multiple colors to the pattern by selecting areas for each tone.
2. Use a blend mode tool to melt the pattern into a textured background. Apps like Photoshop/Photopea have this tool.
3. Apply patterns or textures to the pattern using a clipping mask or fill tool.
From basic patterns to more unique designs, distressed, damask and doodles, there is broad range to choose from in my shop with money saving bundles if you want the whole package.
Not sure if these are right for you? Download these two sample patterns as pictured below to play with (these were made with AI) and enjoy full commercial licensing on them.
