5. Use a Photo as a Text Fill

T his one is easier with the Craft plugin for Sketch by InVision, because it allows you to quickly source photos online.

The fastest way to fill text with a photo of some tasty dessert, without actually having to outline the text and use it as a mask:

I discovered this completely by accident, just like when I discovered the milk had gone bad in the fridge.

How-To: Select the text layer you want to fill. Open the “Data” tab from the Craft plugin strip. Find a photo in Custom/Web/JSON and click it to fill your text with the photo. 🍰

** EDIT: You can also do this by just adding an image fill on text itself. Admittedly, I always forget that text has both text color and text fill. A bit superfluous if you ask me, but it is what it is :) Thanks to Ryan J over on Designer News for pointing this [very obvious thing] out to me!
