It's a rainy day! So wet and boring... No one wants to stay cooped up all week. But this craft won't get you wet! Well, except for the fact it's a watercolor card... ;) Let's check out the supplies:
A piece of watercolor or card stock paper
Watercolors and paintbrush
An elephant, heart, and message stamp
A Crop-o-dile and/or fasteners that are heart shaped
Pink and black ink
Paper cutter
Painter's tape and a craft mat you don't mind getting wet with watercolor
And water for the watercolors, of course!

Step 5: Watercolor her umbrella pink and then add some raindrops. If she does not have one then you can draw it in with a marker, or stamp an umbrella stamp on top.

Step 6: Paint in some grass with green watercolor. I added some blue to make it look like water dropping onto the grass.
