Hello! Hope your week is going well! The other night I sat down and did some watercoloring with several different MFT stamp sets and today I'm sharing two cards that I made using those efforts. First up is a card for this week's Paper Players challenge which is a lovely sketch. I used smooth Bristol cardstock and Ranger distress markers to color up the sweet little girl with her umbrella from the MFT/Birdie Brown stamp set called Rain or Shine. I was thinking of my little niece Kaia and her bright pink Ugg boots as I colored up this sweet little girl! May just have to send this card to Kaia! Once I was done I die cut her with the matching die. Then I found patterned papers that would work with the colors I used for my little girl. After cutting the rectangles and laying them out on my card base I decided to do a little stenciling with the MFT Mini Raindrop stencil using MFT Blue Breeze ink. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of white cardstock that I die cut with an A Jillian Vance Design sentiment strip die and then I got to layering up all my elements. To finish things off I added a little sun peeking out from behind the clouds. I will also add this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.
The second card features a little boy and his umbrella from the MFT/Birdie Brown set called Puddle Jumper. This card was inspired by my little nephew Max. He isn't old enough to actually jump in puddles, but I still couldn't help but think of him as I colored this little guy! I used distress markers to color him, as well. When he was finished I die cut him with his matching die. The layout comes from the MFT sketch challenge. I used the Mini Raindrops stencil on this card, as well. But this time I used Ranger Texture Paste transparent gloss. I love the fun shiny raindrops! I die cut some green polka dot paper (from MFT) with an AJVD slippery slope die and adhered it to my card base. The sentiment was stamped on another piece of MFT patterned paper and die cut with an MFT fishtail flag stax die. I colored up a little puddle for my little boy to jump over and then adhered all the pieces to the card base. May have to send this card off to him, too! 
Hope you have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by!
