Hi! Here's the list of techniques:

Wafer paper: the fan, and the flowers cut-outs (many thanks to Cookie Celebration for inspiring me!)

Stenciled areas: red flowers, stenciled with red color dust (pls see attached picture) to give a velvet look. 

Hand-drawn elements: the branches that can be seen through the fan (pls see picture attached)

Painted area and elements: the flowers that can be seen through the fan (gel food colors), the wafer paper fan, and flowers  cuts-out (gold extended luster)

RI transfers: (super minimal) the Chinese knot.

Nicely done! I really love the explanatory photos of each step that you attached - thanks!

Thank you, Julia. It is my second time stenciling... didn't even know if that was possible with color dust. It was just an experiment. The result was nice, the dust added depth. I just wanted to share. Again, thanks to Cookie Celebration for the idea of the hole puncher.

Thank you for helping with the tags, the more I post the more I am learning.

Amazing... such a stunning piece. i must say this is so ' Chinese' ! 

Thank you ladies!

Mily, always kind.

Patty, I am so glad that "this is so 'Chinese'"! You'll tell me about next one I am going to post.

This is such a beautiful, beautiful cookie!  I love how the dark red airbrushed flowers in the background echo the gold wafer paper ones.  And I really LOVE that you have shared your process with us.  THANK YOU.
