I had never tried off the edge die-cutting but I am very pleased with the end result.
I was in the mood to do a puppy card so I chose Mama Elephant's Playful Pups, one of my oldest and most used stamp sets. I die cut a panel, did my partial die-cutting, then stamped and finally colored with Copic markers. I liked the CAS look of the panel but wanted to break up some of the white so I used my new Sugar Pea Designs Element Builder to die cut the bottom edge. I really like that subtle stitched wave.

Make my Monday "B" Challenge - B is for lots of Brown! I used 5 Shades of Copic Brown on these pups.
Addicted to Stamps "Make Your Mark" I made my mark with lots of brown.
