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.

I love how you used a baby tiger to show the budding be strong sentiment since we often feel small when we feel weak or insecure.
