Na-cho Ordinary Card :)

The theme of this VSN is Paper Chefs - so all of the challenges are 'food' related. Today's mini challenge focuses around snacks. The 8pm challenge deals with one of my favorite snacks - nachos!! Here are the clever details of the challenge:

  • Must have an earthly yellow (like So Saffron) to represent the corn chips
  • Must include a red to represent the salsa
  • Choose at least two of the following ingredients - refried beans (kraft or brown), cheese (orange or vanilla), guacamole, jalapenos, or cilantro (green), black olives (black), sour cream (white), red onions (purple)
  • You must heat your nachos, so you must use an technique that involves heat.

Here's what I came up with:


I guess according to the recipe, my nachos would have corn chips, salsa, refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, and olives....hmmmm, I wouldn't make them that way in real life - they'd have to have cheese!! I did add heat by embossing my sentiment. I don't know about you, but I'm not a big fan of heat embossing....I typically get the powder everywhere and it's never 'perfect'...too bad because I love the look & feel of it!!

I do love how the card turned out! This is such a wonderful set from My Cute Stamps - I didn't get it with my first order and it was the first thing I added to my cart during my second order :) It's so versatile, so I bet you'll be seeing lots more cards made with it!!
