After seeing several examples of partial DOUBLE die-cutting I thought it would be fun to try it using the sweet hippo in Wish Big! You can certainly achieve this look in several different ways...
Stamp, die cut and mount the hippo separately...But it is awfully cool to be able to pull it off with the one top layer! And, it would also be a great effect as a single-layer card!
You could also fussy cut around the hippo by hand, if you didn't happen to have the matching dies.
If you haven't seen it before, this is one of those die-cutting techniques that is more easily explained (and understood) with video than a written explanation. And, once you try it, you'll like it. And, you'll wanna see what other die combos you can do this with.
I still struggle with my ink blending skills, but try not to be too hard on myself because that circular motion tends to cause the tendinitis in my right arm to flare up. Boo. :(

Happy Mundane!
