Hearts Galore!

The inspiration for the heart shaped hot air balloon cookie design is from Pinterest: https://www.google.com/search?...mgrc=bn0qebwyAhX7IM:

The panda bear cookies are inspired by this design: https://www.google.com/search?...mgrc=-vVk1SoFv28KSM:

I wanted to do the inside of the large heart with an isomalt stained glass look. I tried and tried and it just didn't turn out right at all. I ended up coloring the isomalt and filling the center of the heart instead. I'll get isomalt variations figured out with time...at least I'm hopeful . I definitely need to invest in a heat gun like @iSugarfy (aka swissophie) has talked about when Ryoko was creating her recent isomalt cookies. I definitely have even more respect for @Ryoko ~Cookie Ave. for doing such a great job with the collaboration isomalt cookies she did with Sonja's wonderful assistance. Hugs to all ❤️❤️❤️

So Much fun, love the pandas 

You'll get the hang of Isomalt, Carol! It really just needs practice like everything else in our cookie world ! Don't know whether you've seen my PM for more explanation, but if you have more questions, just let them roll.

This whole set is so creative. My favorite is the heart shaped balloon with that cute couple ❤️❤️❤️

Oh thank you so much dear Sonja! In a real mind funk...can't come up with a creative idea to save my life. Perhaps I need to take a bit of a break to renew my creative juices...all things come in time .

Love those pandas!!!!

 I see you are diligent about citing the source of your inspirations. I'm finding it impossible or too time consuming most times if I see a pic and use it as an inspiration to find the source. I do stay clear of copy righted subjects though or never use a template that's for sale . 

It seems that years ago there were less Cookiers and it was easy to spot a copied cookie design. But it's become a free for all and between Pinterest , IG and FB it's hard not to be influenced.  

Wonderful job Carol. For some reason I want to eat the pandas! 

So sweet Carol...I love the Panda!!♥

Thank you so much for your kind comment Tina!!! You are always so kind . I appreciate that you have noticed my efforts at citing sources that have inspired me in some way. I think it's important because ideas often come from a variety of sources. I would certainly want someone to cite my design in the same situation.

Looking forward to seeing your next cookie masterpiece ❤️❤️
