Luxe and Festive! Abstract holiday painted backgrounds for all of your social media and holiday designs! These lush and painterly digital backgrounds use a classic, sophisticated Christmas color palette, with greens, reds, and golds carefully sampled from real photos! The brush strokes are expressive, the touches of gold elegant and eye-catching, and all combined they create an effect that is very modern and trendy. Add a touch of elegance and style to your holiday creations with these beautiful painted backgrounds!
I actually came up with this technique while I was creating THIS abstract Christmas tree illustration! Follow along with the tutorial if you want to see how I layered the brush strokes using my Watercolor Tie-Dye brushes, as well as my Textile inspired brushes. For the gold accents, I used my Instaglam and 24K Gold layer styles! After I got started, I just went mad, creating a ton of variations! I love how the backgrounds with the green bases imply a Christmas tree background, but in an abstract and painterly way! The white and gold neutral papers, flecked with gold, are some of my favorites, and are perfect for year-round elegant designs!

A beautiful playground...
Got this wonderfully curated set of brushes to give a twist to playing around with photographs as I am not able to paint myself and don't have the patience nor time to dive into the real thing. It turned out it's a great tool to relax a bit while still producing something creative. The ease of use and variability is big plus. New horizons to be discovered. Thanks, Jessica!

Best Brushes!
This is my favorite set of brushes to use with the color blending pattern stamp technique. These are the brushes I use when trying new palettes. So much fun!
As always, brushes from Creators Couture do not disappoint! They're easy to install and use, and I just love how they add that little extra "oomph" to my designs!
Thanks so much Kate, you're a star! glad you liked the watercolor brushes for Photoshop!!! xx jess
