BUTTERFLIES by Nina

 Butterfly Cookie by The Ginger Cookie
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.

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!

    What 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
