Stepping through the Garden

I am pleased to be posting my first ever entry to a challenge! Thank you to @Manu biscotti decorati and @Evelindecora for the tutorial. As @Yazz Ross mentioned in her entry, it was a bit of a challenge because the transfers are very fragile. I really enjoyed making the steppingstones because the stencil method made a flat disc rather than a mounded one. I stenciled a flower on each stone stencil and then stippled them to create a concrete effect. I used the same flower stencil to create "leaves" to construct the succulents. The flowerpot is a cookie I made by mounding dough over a tablespoon. The edible dirt is made with the tried-and-true crushed Oreos method. So fun! I just wish I were a better photographer!

Such a great entry! I love how you created an entire scene, and the stepping stones (!) . . . perhaps my favorite part of it all! Well done!

Thank you! And I hope you are enjoying your time in Maine. My daughter lives in Southwest Harbor! 😊

What a creative and eye-catching entry!  The theme is striking and the implementation screams perseverance!   I think your photography is stunning as well; it is just hard for me to imagine the real scale of it all.

Thank you so much! You are too, too kind! I understand what you mean about scale. I couldn’t find anything I wanted to include in the photo for reference. The cookie is 6 x 6 inches and the leaves/petals are about 1 centimeter. Thanks again!

Oh how wonderful dear @Treatfairy!! I love your ingenuity in creating these succulents by using the method taught in @Manu biscotti decorati challenge video. You did a beautiful job and I'm so impressed with your attention to every detail. Love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs...

What a gorgeous entry! I loved that you tried what I showed in my video in such a creative way! The stenciled royal icing seal has become a stepping stone. What a great idea to use the same stencil to create the two different kind of transfers.Well done! 🤗
