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.

To celebrate the release Hero Arts is giving away one kit as a prize to one blog reader selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop so make sure you leave a comment at each hop stop for the most chances to win!  If you win and have already purchased the kit you will be reimbursed!  Here’s a list of all the stops on the hop:
