Margaritas Anyone??

I have a fun card to share with you today...  
and it's perfect for those hot summer days.
This is an A2 card. It opens from the top, I really don't make portrait cards all that much so it's a nice change from my usual. The orange and yellow paper is from DCWV's spring stack from last year.

I printed this tasty margarita onto glossy photo paper so it looks all glassy and cold.  I glued it directly to the card base but added Stardust Stickles to the rim for the salt and added Glossy Accents to the lime... it's not quite all dry in this picture... I couldn't wait to share! :)

I printed the sentiment onto the glossy photo paper using Copy Book font and then punched it using an Photo Labels EK Success Punch. I matted it with black to match the card base. Three little self adhesive rhinestones in light green add the perfect about of sparkle. The green and white twine is the perfect match to the green in the margarita. 

As you can see, I added some scraps to the inside to finish it off. All in all, it turned out to be a great any occasion card... it sure brings a smile to my face. :)
