Animal Pyramid

Looks like the monkey is having the most fun. He has the cat by the tail and is not letting go. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Zoofari

   Wild About You

   In the Meadow

   Bring on the Cake

Paper:

   Soft Sky A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Basic Gray

   Early Espresso

   Soft Sky

Markers:

   Various

Technique:

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Stamp-a-ma-jig

   Sponge

   Adhesive

First, I sponged my panel with a bit of Soft Sky. 

I then stamped the animals. These stamps are all wood mounted, so I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to align them correctly on top of each other. 

Next, I stamped the sentiment on the top of the panel, and added the green grass below.

I then colored in the letters in the sentiment and the images, using various markers.

Lastly, I adhered the panel onto the Soft Sky card front, and added the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

   Watercolor Paper 5-1/4 x 4

I followed Kim Jolley's Fool Poof Watercolor Technique. She even has a short video and a few examples. 

You can easily decipher what I used on my card. Basically, I used the Baby Wipes on my background and then stamped, using the two background stamp sets. The image and sentiment are from the Guy Greetings stamp set.
