Fun Stampers Journey Tiger Bonsai

Good Morning Ladies,
I stayed in all day yesterday.But I have to go out to work this morning. It snowed last night so I have to clean my truck off.

The card for today is Fun Stampers Journey Tiger Bonsai
I loved the Tiger Bonsai set from the minute I saw it in the catalog but had no ideas for it. Then came the layering leaves stencil and I knew I had to have the tiger set. So the background was created with the layering leaves stencil and liquid colors. The tiger was black embossed and cut with the matching die.
