Nature's Harvest

 Hello, Stampers! 

Today's card features Stampin' Up!'s Nature's Harvest. I love the summer feel, especially with spring right around the corner! The DSP is so pretty, I love the Soft Succulent with the script background. I have used this so much I had to buy another pack of paper! 

This card layout is a great way to showcase your DSP as well. Use any stamp set with a good focal image too. This is such a versatile card layout. Have fun and share your card images with me. I can't wait to see what you come up with!!
