Super Bowl Field Close Up

Nice! Can you give us more details about how you created the texture?

Sure thing! I followed Semi Sweet Mike's ideas of using graham cracker crumbs for the turf. After coloring the crushed graham crackers with green food color (Americolor gel and a bit of vodka), I added them to the cookie base which was flooded with royal icing, and then let everything dry. It wasn't "green" enough so I used an airbrush with green color to make the overall field a bit brighter. For the yard lines, I made a stencil and used the airbrush again, but with white. The numbers weren't as sharp as I wanted (mainly because the stencil moved) so I went back with a brush and green color and painted around the numbers to clean up a bit.

I also have more photos of the process posted here: http://www.iheartbutter.com/20...ts-super-sunday.html

OK, thanks. Going to tag Mike as inspiration for the moss effect.

Thanks! I didn't know I could do that

Yes, the posting instructions (and I) encourage people to cite inspiration for key designs or design elements (both in tags and secondary title) whenever they know it. You just type in the tags you want when the prompt comes up when adding the photo. You can also go back and edit your tags and clip sets at any time. Just hit the pen icon next to those areas in the blue column to the right of the photo.
