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.

Jess, you’ve taken the Misti to new heights with all the Serengeti animals. This layout is fantastic. I love that you used just a pop of color in the tiger cub and the edges. A wonderful card. Thank you.
