Create beautiful pattern overlays on your text using PicMonkey. Easily create picture text with any digital paper or image. 
I love PicMonkey and use it for everything! I recently discovered that you can do “Picture text” on PicMonkey. I’ve been trying to find an excuse to use it on all my blog post. I may be totally late to the game but I wanted to share with others who may not know about this awesome feature. I tried to break it down as much as possible. Trust me it is super easy and be warned you will get addicted! Post contains affiliate links. It just means I make a small commission if you purchase anything through my links.
Step one.
Bring up a blank canvas on Picmonkey. Make sure the canvas is white.
Step two.
Write the text you want and keep the color black. Select your text and click the button to combine all images together (see where the red arrow is pointing to above).
Step three.
Click on the butterfly image (Overlays). Click on “Your Own” to select the digital paper you want to use as your text image. (I searched “free commercial use digital paper” on Google or you can search on Pinterest or just buy digital papers from Etsy)
Step four.
The image you selected will show up little but all you have to do is adjust the size to fit your text. When you click on the image the overlay box will appear. Click on the “Blend modes” and select “Lighten”. Your picture will automatically apply to the text you have.
Step five.
You’re done! The feature doesn’t just work on text – you can also apply it to actual images. I added a little pumpkin to the text above with orange digital paper.
See some other examples I did:
Yes, I’m a little obsessed with this feature! The possibilities are endless! I’m just sad I didn’t discover this feature earlier. Can you tell my favorite is the glitter paper? You can purchase glitter paper sets from The Hungry JPeg for about $1!
What will you be making with the Picture Text feature on PicMonkey?
Thank you friend!! I made a super cute design!
