Colorful knit caps are a staple of winter.  They’re even cuter when shrunken down and put on a greeting card!

For today’s project, I used a stencil from PA Essentials called Holiday that has the cutest winter icons.

The first hat, I stenciled directly onto an A2 sized white card panel using Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink.  It’s such a pretty, bright red.

I stenciled the other hat and mitten using Lucky Clover and Tumbled Glass Oxide inks and trimmed those out from some white card stock.

I created a little cluster around the red hat and then added a sentiment from Hero Arts’ Stamp and Cut Wishes set.

I added the entire panel to a notecard covered with a piece from Avery Elle’s Holiday Collection paper pad.  I also used the paper pad for the Wishes die cut.  It has a huge variety of bright colored stripes, gingham and other festive patterns.

This would make a great thank you card for after the Holidays—so cheerful and bright!  Thanks so much for joining me today!
