I mean seriously, is this not the cutest, ever?! And this is where I will insert my "disclaimer"...the writing on these cookies are perfect...mine, not so much! Writing on cookies continues to be my biggest nemesis...even with my KopyKake, I struggle, but whatev's!
Here is what I came up with:
Overall, I was quite pleased with the outcome. I was off a bit on the color of the jar...I was going for a vintage color and it came out slightly too dark, but I can live with it! I am not sure how the original designer's flowers were done, it appears that she made little "loops" for the pedals. I used the same technique that I do to do brush embroidery flowers...just making "dots" and smooshing them down with a paint brush.
Then I decided to kick it up a notch and give the flowers a little shine! Months back I had purchased a new airbrush system and had yet to try it out. It was kind of like when I bought my miter saw...took me forever to get the nerve to use that for the first time too!
Instead of using regular color in the airbrush, I opted to use sheen...pearl sheen, to be exact! Love this stuff...if you remember, I used the Wilton's Pearl Sheen out of the can on my Wedding corset cookies:
See that subtle shine? Love it!
If you look closely, you can see it on the flowers, but the picture does not do them justice!
Now that I finally got the nerve to power up my airbrush, I might have to use it more often! How about one more look:
Whatcha' think? I made these just for fun...wish I knew someone that was having a birthday or needed a flower "pick me up"...instead I am sending them to work with Kelli!
Till next time...have a great weekend!

There's a skinny girl who lives inside of me that's screaming to get out...I can usually shut her up with cookies!

What a sweet bouquet of flowers. You do such a good job on your cookies. I know what you mean about getting up the nerve to try something new...I am exactly like that. Joni
very cute, but your link to the cutters goes to a chair listing:(
I love them and your handwriting looks great I don't know what you think is wrong, lol then again we are always our worst critics on our own cookies I do it all the time. If you don't mind I'd love to run with the idea and make my own version of them for my Wonderful aunt Thanks

Love the "jar" filled with delicious looking cookies. Great job.
My question is; the cookies look like they are layer upon layer upon layer. How did you do that? Looks so neat...I want to do it too. Thanks.
You are just so creative. Miss Terri
