Fiesta! I had to go with the nacho theme and make some! It's Sunday night and at my house we call that Nacho Night. We've been having Nacho Night since before we were married--so, of course, I had to make nachos! DH is in the kitchen right now making fresh salsa. What can I say?
This was a great way to use up scraps. The Saffron nachos were all small squares or rectangles that I cut into triangles. The scallop piece was a scrap on the table, as was the black strip. Those green eyelets have been in my stash forever--needed to be used and the red brads have never been a true red and never match my projects.
Yes, I did heat them. The *cheese* is Extreme Elements splat stamped with Versamark and then I used my yellow EP that never matches any projects--used it generously for the cheese.
The sentiment *gracias* is cut out from the Thank You CB folder.
This was super fun to make--after I got going it was hard to stop when my time was up.

Ah, this is the perfect nacho platter! Love your use of brads for the toppings, cool embossing for the cheese too. Thanks for playing and I wish I could taste your hubby's salsa!

Very inventive! My favorites are the green eyelet jalapenos and the yellow ep cheese - so clever! You are, indeed, the 'Best Chef' for this challenge! Congrats!
