Blue background is very striking!  What brand of airbrush color did you use?  Was it water or alcohol based?

I'm so glad you like the blue background . The base color was the ivory shade of the 2 side cookies. I decided to use a deep blue for contrast once I placed my flowers on the cookie and saw that it needed more "pop" . 

I used Americolor Sky Blue with Royal Blue lightly sprayed over the center and only Royal Blue sprayed heavily on the edges and sides. Americolor is water based @E. Sherwood . It's so very kind of you to comment. Thank you ❤️❤️

Just splendid.❤️

These are absolutely beautiful!! And thank you for mentioning me! I love your color scheme💛

I'm glad you made good use of the resources that were included in the challenge. Your flowers are arranged beautifully and everything is so polished. Your flowers look stunning against the dark background (which is a perfect color), but they are equally elegant against the white background as well. All-around, a very impressive entry.

Ah Noriko...how sweet of you to take a look and comment. Thank you so very much @mintlemonade (cookie crumbs)! Yes, you have been an inspiration to me many times. I love your clean style of decorating. Your saturated background colors have always drawn me to your work. It's harder to hide mistakes when working with lighter colors on top of a deeply saturated background color. HaHa. I just couldn't resist using the deep blue color as a background for my white calla lilies . I hope you are doing well ❤️❤️

Christine, @Sweet Prodigy, you are most kind with your comment!! Thank you so much. I was really excited to stretch my creative juices, though a bit intimidated working with media like gumpaste/fondant/modeling chocolate. I don't use these often and felt clumsy. Lots and lots of flowers hit the trashcan. LOL. Some of the videos I watched made it look easy to create some pretty complicated flowers (didn't try those!). I can only imagine the amount of time so many artists have spent learning and perfecting their craft. Amazing!!

This was really a lot of fun and I'm so grateful to have had the time to participate this time. Thank you for all the encouragement you give to everyone here . Hearing those words helps to motivate me more than you may know.

Hugs....❤️❤️❤️

Very beautiful Carol!!! 🌸🌸🌸

The flowers are beautiful, and the presentation really makes them 'pop', that dark blue color is fabulous.  I really like the different background shapes.  Visually all very wonderful.  Great job!  

Absolutely fabulous!

so lovely set, dear Carol

Beautiful cookies and beautiful colors (blue actually is my fav), for an elegant outcome

Neat and perfect
