White Tiger Card

White Tiger Card

Our theme this week is “CATS” and I’ve chosen a big one! Whilst searching the internet for pictures of white tigers for this week’s post, I found out a few interesting facts about them. I was surprised to discover that they are not a subspecies of tiger but their coat colour is caused by a genetic mutation and are not classed as an endangered species. Sadly, white tigers are bred in captivity purely for profit. Due to the rarity of the gene, a lot of inbreeding takes place which causes the tigers to be born with a plethora of health problems. Here’s my homage to the beautiful white tiger.

Tutorial

To begin, I used my MISTI to stamp the tiger from Fearless Tiger. I like to use my MISTI as the stamp is large with lots of detail so I like to do a few repeat stampings to get a perfect result. Once happy with the stamping using Versafine Clair Nocturne, I added clear embossing powder and heat set.

To create a camouflage surround, I used the Lava stencil and started with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide. Once, I’d done one layer, I rotated the stencil and added more ink.

I lightly filled the white gaps before switching to the darker Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide, rotating the stencil once again.

Next, I added a little colour to the tiger using alcohol markers. The stamp does the shading for you so it’s simply a case of adding a little colour. I used some grey on the fur and blue on the eyes: all white tigers have blue eyes.

To create more texture to the surround, I mixed some green reinker with Distress Grit Paste and added it through the leafy stencil.

Whilst the paste was still wet, I sprinkled some gold, copper and green embossing powder onto the paste and then heat-set. This makes the paste bubble-up and add some lovely texture as well as some metallic highlights.

The sentiment was gold heat-embossed, backed with gold mirror card and attached to the panel with thin foam tape. The tiger panel was mounted on gold mirror card and then onto a white square card blank.
