Thank you so much 

That burgundy color is exquisite, and the roses are gorgeous.  But will you share with us how you got that burnt paper effect?  It is amazing!

Absolutely stunning. Everything looks so lifelike!

Thank you, sure I will. .. directly after removing my honey gingerbread cookie from the oven I applied a whole egg wash with brown gel I will  post picture of the naked effects.  When cool I  scraped a fairly thick layer of royal icing across the cookie feathering it out around the edges. Let dry overnight. Next I  shaded around the outside edge with brown food gel and speckled. I then came back with a liner brush and did a few lines with brown +black from  the edge of the cookie toward the center, randomly. Added some dry brushed luster dust colors to the background for interest. Painted the background leaves and vines. Finally a few leaves with RI  and added the roses. 

I love it! Elegant, beautiful, and sooo creative
