Here’s what I created:

Be Strong by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero ArtsI 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.

Be Strong by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero ArtsNext 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.

    What a beautiful card! I love how you created the silhouette background and then popped the tiger cub for dimension…cute, cute! Keeping my fingers crossed – I have a heart for Africa since visiting a few years ago and this set would be the perfect addition to use throughout my Africa scrapbook!
