This square card (4.25" x 4.25") is my entry for two challenges:
1) today's REALLY FUN Limited Supplies Challenge (LSC232)--I'm Hungry--to have food/beverages as its main theme AND to only use colors that have “edible names.”
AND
2) this week's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC27), to make a card using any kind of metal hardware.
For challenge #1, I used these good-enough-to-eat citrus slice images from the Flourishes set Life, Love, and Lemons. They were stamped with SU tangerine tango, SU so saffron, and SU certainly celery inks--"edible" color names all!! I finished the card with a tangerine tango card base and mats cut from certainly celery and so saffron cardstock.
For challenge #2, I completed my design with a shiny metallic button (how's that for hardware?) and three-citrus colored metal brads.
I created the background by rolling the tangerine tango card base with my SU Baroque Border wheel, and fashioned my own little tag by using a corner rounder on my tiny rectangular scrap.
I had SO MUCH fun with these challenges, especially the I'm Hungry one!!
Thanks for looking!!

This is just great. I love your colors and that button reminds me of a citrus juicer!! It's just perfect. Great job on both challenges!
