Rita Barakat Christmas Hop
Hello crafty friends! Welcome to the Christmas Blog Hop with Rita Barakat. If you are here from Rita’s Blog or you start your hop here, you are in a perfect place!
I will start with one of the my Christmas cards for these year. I used the A Merry Little Christmas Collection of Die Cuts and with these images you can create amazing projects. I decided to create an ornament with one of the wreaths included on the collection. I used the Fancy Floral Coverplate from Kat Scrappiness to decorate the card base and be the perfect mat for my wreath.
Using alphabet dies, I created the word Joy making this the perfect frame for the wreath. As final touch, I added a tiny bow from Spellbinders dies.
My second card is not traditional colors for Christmas that I really love. The combination of blue and pink is one of my favorites for the seasons and this die cut from the A Merry Little Christmas Collection from Rita Barakat includes these.
I used a zig zag stitched rectangle from Kat Scrappiness to create the decorated layer. With a stencil and Distress Ink, I created textured over the card stock and splattered it with some drops of gold and brown mist.
The final touch of this card is the bow with ribbon and twine to create the contrast colors.
My last project is a tag using this amazing toy solder, also included on the A Merry Little Christmas Collection. I inked the background with distress ink and to create a little more interest on it, I just add a few touches of Frost Sheer Shimmer Stix.
Now is time to continue with the hop, but first let me invite you to visit Rita’s Blog and keep in touch with us because Rita has been created amazing things and products for the next days. Keep in touch!
