How Middle Eastern Art Has Influenced Our Lives

Middle Eastern Art is so popular today. Here are a few of my favorite pinterest pictures I’ve pinned to my Eastern Palace Board to show you what I mean. Click HERE to see all of them.  Middle Eastern Influence is in our fashion, home decor, architect design, dinner ware and jewelry. I am seeing it everywhere! And why wouldn’t we be influenced? The bright purples, blues, pinks and yellow are radiantly beautiful. And I love the bold signature medallion that is popping up all over the place.

These medallions are all over the home decor sections of the department stores. I see it in curtains, bedding and pillows.

You can even find it in dinner ware patterns.

This new trend in Middle Eastern art is wonderful.  It is so bright and cheerful. I even found some Lemon Lime Twist colored earrings when I was at the museum with mom the other day.

Be looking for this very inspiring trend in this month’s card sample as I create with the new Eastern Palace Suite collection available May 1, 2017!

I discovered cardmaking just a few years ago. It all started when a friend of mine invited me over to make cards on a Friday night. There were 3 other ladies there. We had a great time creating beautiful cards together all evening. I was hooked! I started dreaming of my own home filled with friends making these beautiful cards. And so I started my business Creating with Kristina.
