May Challenge: From Places Abroad – Tunisia

Hello-hello, Altenew fans! Yana is here hosting May challenge. We are once again bringing you the “From Places Abroad” theme and inviting you to go abroad to Tunisia in search of creative inspiration.

We hope you've enjoyed our previous challenges and will join us once again. We certainly loved each one of your projects and your take on our inspiration photos.

This month’s theme: From Places Abroad: Tunisia

A look at the gorgeous ceiling in one of the carpet shops in Tunisia

When traveling inspiration can strike at any moment! Look at tiles on the floor, mosaics on the walls, take a glance at the ceiling. You might be surprised at what you'll see!

The inspiration photo above was snapped at one of the carpet shops in Tunisia. The minute a walked into the shop I was fascinated with all the beautiful carpers the place had to offer. But the moment I looked up and saw the ceiling I was so impressed! I loved the mix of gold, bronze, blues and aqua colors together! Absolutely beautiful!

Here's a project I created inspired by the photo above:

I used the combination of light and dark blues to stamp the roses for my project using Vintage Roses stamp set. I also heat embossed in gold and die cut a few branches from the Doodle Blooms set.

The beautiful sentiment for this card was also heat embossed in gold on black cardstock. It reads: Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. Finally I added a stunning Fenstone Decorative Element trim and finished my project.
