Weathered Wood Duck Decoy Cookies

Tweet

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

We sure did, but now I am ready to move on. I decided to do some "just because" cookies today. Mostly because I found some darling new cookie cutters at a local shop and just couldn't wait to try them out. 

I'm not sure, but I might have just created a new cookie technique. :)

I based the cookies with cream and tan colored royal frosting the night before so it would be completely dry this morning. Then I used a small X-acto knife to score "weathered wood" lines into the frosting.

 I then applied powdered and liquid food coloring with a brush, to get that antiqued look.

I really like how they turned out! I think hubby will feel special eating these.
He usually gets the flops. Thought I should do something special just for him. :)

If you love them, please share and pin! :)

Thanks so much for dropping by! 

"Fuzzy Ducky"~Another One of My Illustrations

Tweet

Hello!

Hope you are all enjoying the last day of the weekend!

I get to show you another stamp that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps. It is my "Fuzzy Ducky".

Don't you think she's sweet?

She is available as of today @ Clear Dollar Stamps for just $2.49!!!!  That's right....$2.49!!!!!

Lori has also done up several different card kits with her to help you get some cute "Fuzzy Ducky" cards done up quick.

I punched the flowers then colored them with a Tombo marker to get the exact color I wanted. I then curled the petals a little to add shape then made a faux brad out of the same designer paper that I used on the card. The leaves are also punched (from a pointed flower punch, then cut apart) and colored with a Tombow.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Creatalicious ~ Show Some 3D

The frame of the main image is popped, I have dimensional flowers, pearls, and ribbon.

This would make a wonderful card for a new baby
