The paper is from the 6x6 Lost & Found Two paper pack by My Mind's Eye.

My song inspiration is "Margaritaville" by Jimmy Buffet and I thought Watermelon Margarita by Limited Runs was the perfect digi choice! The digi sentiment is by Graphicat Designs and currently the sentiment is my motto as I am enjoying quite a few on the beach in Mexico!
I've had the background paper for awhile and thought this was the perfect card to use it on. I used mesh to add some texture, and added a couple of buttons and a charm to finish it off.
