Creative Inspo – More Than Red & Green!

Happy Thursday Everybody!

We hope you are all having a fab week so far & are ready for a big burst of creative inspiration, because today we’re sharing all things bright, colourful & Christmasy!

Traditionally, colours like red, green & gold are associated with Christmas, but for artists, designers & crafters who love colour, sticking with a limited palette can be a challenge in itself! Here in the RT studio, we are definitely pro-colour & believe that Christmas designs can be whatever you want them to be! So today we want to encourage you to break out of your colour comfort zone & try something new!

Rachael’s portfolio features many bright Christmas designs & as a big colour advocate, many of them go beyond the classic red & green. If you’re worried your design may not feel festive enough, don’t forget that the motifs (such as fun Christmas trees, snowflakes & baubles) can really bring the festive themes to life in a design!

Below we’ve chosen a few of Rachael’s most colourful Christmas themed surface pattern designs to inspire you – we’ve used one of our favourite apps called Colour Viewfinder to create some vibrant palette examples! Despite the non-traditional colour schemes, there’s no doubt that these quirky designs & patterns bring some fab festive vibes to the table.

So if you have plans to get artsy & creative this weekend, whether it’s decorating, card & bauble making, or even baking, don’t forget to get a little adventurous with colour! Christmas is all about celebration & what better way to celebrate than with all things bright & beautiful!
