This fun card features Stampin' Up!'s Weather Together stamp set with the coordinating Umbrella Weather Framelits Die and their Party Panda stamp set.  I love the sentiments included in the Weather Together set as they can be used for many different occasions. This is an A2 size card.

Material List:
-Stamp Set:  Weather Together, Party Pandas
-Dies: Weather Together, Stitched Shape Framelits
-Tool: Sponge Brayer, Sponge Daubers
-Cardstock: Perfect Plum, Whisper White, DSP
-Inks: Marina Mist, Perfect Plum, Whisper White Craft Ink, Basic Black
-Embellishments: Enamel Shape
-Basics: Scissors, Paper Trimmer, Dimensionals, Tombow Glue, -Big Shot, Adhesive Tape Runner
 
-Card Base:  Whisper White A2 Card (Folded Size 5-1/2" x 4-1/4")
-Perfect Plum Bottom Base Mat:  (5-1/4" x 4")
-Whisper White Top Mat:  (5" x 3-3/4")
-Scraps of Perfect Plum, DSP Whisper White.
-Scrap piece of Whisper White to stamp the sentiment.

Directions:
--Cut the top and bottom mats to size per list.
--Color the background of the Top Mat with Marina Mist ink using a sponge brayer. Then a used a sponge dauber with the Whisper White Craft Ink to shade the background and smooth out the color.
--Die Cut some clouds from white scraps of whisper white & then use a sponge dauber to apply a bit of Marina Mist ink to them.
--Mark an X on your top mat where you will place the clouds and then die cut the rain drops to the sides and below the marked areas where appropriate.
--Stamp the sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White CS with Perfect Plum ink, and then die cut with the appropriate circle from the Stitched Shape Framelits.
--Using Perfect Plum and sponge dauber apply some ink to the outside edge of the circle.
--Stamp, Die cut and Assemble an umbrella (see my hint to the left).
--Stamp and Fussy cut a Party Panda (see my hint to the left).
--Before I attach my pieces I use tape runner to attach the Top Mat to the Base Mat.
--Glue the panda and umbrella together.  Attach to card using glue and then some dimensionals for the umbrella.
--Pop-up the clouds with dimensionals as well.
--Glue the sentiment to the card front.
--Attach an Enamel Shape onto the sentiment circle.
--Attach both mats to the card Base using tape runner.     

Hint:  I typically stamp and fussy cut the Pandas from the Party Panda Stamp Set in batches and store in a plastic bag for when I need them. 
I did the same thing with the Umbrellas from the Weather Together Stamp & Coordinating Die set. Make it much easier to put a quick card together.
