I was inspired by Momsu's butterfly cookie post and decorated some butterflies, too.
I made this one last year but wanted to use more color and Momsu's technique of outlining the wings first.
I made a few with multicolored outlines.
And a couple with black outlines.
I also made these small, simple butterfly cookies but the detail gets lost on the ginger cookie background. I might try these again on a sugar cookie, maybe with a little bit of embellishment on the wings.
Some butterflies and flowers for a spring birthday.
Happy Spring!

ReplyDeleteWhat about using ivory or some other creamy pale color (tan? pale yellow?) on the ginger for the butterfly's body? Not every butterfly species has a black body. :)
Speaking of black bodies... how about a monarch butterfly cookie!?! :D
