This pretty Spring Blooms Corner cut die is another new additional to @simonsaysstamp. SO much fun to play with. For this card I used Nuvo Shimmer Powders on a large piece of watercolor paper, and then cut out specific color sections and inlaid them into my die cut card front. Took a little patience, but boy it was fun.
