What she was editing was NOT stock images.
This is her shop (which of course she closed down after people called her out) lucky for me I screencapped her post before she edited it.

As you can clearly see directly in her post she claims that "she's meshing an avatar with a real life person."
Okay well whatever as long as she's using stock images that say that's it's alright to be used for commercial purposes but that's NOT what she's doing. She's taking copyrighted photos and using them in her work.
When she was confronted about that this is what she had to say.
"I am aware of all this,the pictures im using say nothing about contacting the artist first,and if it did,i do so."
Oh and please note right after she's confronted she closes down her shop.
Let's look at this picture and see if what she says is true!
So first let's look at this picture that she made.
Unfortunately I don't know who it was made but it's one of the examples on her post.
EDIT - Apparently it was made for Toxxeh
This is the original photo she used. The deviantartist's name is lithiumpicnic.

Now she is right I looked everywhere on the deviant's page and there's nothing about about copyright or anything like that. So I sent a message to the artist himself to see if he allowed her to edit his photo and sell it. I'm still waiting for a response.
But then comes this picture she made for sometim3.

The original photo is from a deviantartist called zemotion.

But wait a minute right there in the description of the image there's a link that says "copyright notice".
What's the artist's policy about editing pictures?

So as you can see the artist says NOT to edit the pictures in any way and NOT to use them as icons.
She got caught in her lie.
She didn't look to see if she had permission to use them and she definitely did not ask.
That picture was made for me, Toxxeh. It was odd that she never asked for my screenies but I let it go thinking she would be using her own.
