Directions:

Stamp the Indian image in brown ink four times - once each on cream, brown, tan and orange cardstock.  Using the same brown ink, over-stamp Asian texture on orange stamped image and diamond texture on the tan image.   Trim the cream image closely.  Cut the bottom portion of the robe only from the orange image, the middle portion of the robe only from the brown image and the upper robe portion only from the tan cardstock.  Stamp the figure once on black cardstock with black ink and cut out the hair.   Color the hair ribbon with gold marker and reassemble the figure as shown using the cream image as the base.  Set aside. 

Using the green ink, stamp the cactus four times - twice on light green cardstock and twice on dark green cardstock.   Color flowers on all four images with white marker.  Once dry, color over with yellow marker.  Trim dark green cacti closely and randomly cut light green cacti into several sections.  Reassemble all four images into two cacti as shown using adhesive of choice.    Set aside.

Using the blue card as the skyline, randomly tear brown, orange and tan cardstock into strips to resemble mountains.  Adhere to card as shown. 

Cut strip of double-sided tape and adhere to bottom portion of card as shown.  Adhere cacti and figure to card.  Cover remaining exposed tape with sand.
