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.
