Here’s what I created:
I used a couple add-on items with the main kit for my card. I started by placing a card panel in my MISTI and then I arranged the animal silhouettes in different directions on my panel and then closed the MISTI lid to get them to stick to the lid. Then I inked them with intense black ink and stamped them on the card panel. I restamped twice to get a crisp image and then trimmed my panel down to 3.75″ by 5.5.” Then I stamped the Tribal Stripes cling stamp onto white cardstock with Rust ink and adhered the animal panel over it.
Next I stamped the tiger with Rust ink and the outline with intense black ink and then die-cut him with the coordinating die. Finally I stamped the sentiment from the main kit onto black cardstock and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder. I adhered the sentiment to the card with regular adhesive and then added the tiger with foam mounting tape.

Adore your little tiger! I would have never thought to use it like that.
This kit is just amazing! So beautiful!
Very cute card. Love the sentiment.
I like the black and white card with the pop of the tiger and tiger esque paper.
I love the card you created with this kit. I’m seeing such great ideas on the hop and finding it difficult which things to order (wish I could get it all!)
Cool card. I would like to get the kit and make a similar card. Thank you for sharing.
Ahh!!! That little baby tiger! 😍
Wonderful card! Love the background you created with the stamps!
Love this kit and your card is beautiful! The Tiger coloring stamp is so cute esp. the little cub.
I’m being nit picky I know, but tigers are not found in Africa with the rest of those African animals. It’s bugging me that the tigers are an add on for that kit.
I love the way how you made your own background with the stamps and placed the cub on the card. Really beautiful card. Thank you for the great idea on the back ground.
I like your sweet tiger on your card. Great kit.
I love this card! Well done!
