Featuring Ode To Inspiration...

Hello Artsy Girl Connection readers! I'm Maysem from Ode to Inspiration, a blog 

about being inspired and inspiring others. Valentine's Day is just around the corner! 

Today I'm going to share with you a fun way to decorate cookies for Valentine's Day 

using scrapbook stamps. A friend of mine likes calling these cookies Love Notes, 

and I think that's a perfectly suiting name! Love Notes in Paris!

Let's get started!

These are the supplies you will need:

Rectangle shaped sugar cookies

Same cookie cutter used for cookies

Stamps (new and washed): scripted and Eiffel Tower

Gel paste food coloring (I used Americolor's black and warm brown)

Fondant (white and red)

Paint brushes

Pastry brush

Corn syrup

Tiny heart cutterRolling pin

Small bowlsCorn starch

Water in a small bowl

Step 1. Dust your work space with corn starch. Roll out your fondant and cut out a rectangle.

Step 2. Pour some corn syrup in a small bowl, and using your pastry brush 

apply it to your cookie. Then place your fondant cut out on top 

of your cookie. The corn syrup is your "glue".

Step 3. Pour 2-3 drops of the brown gel paste into a bowl, and using a small tipped 

paint brush, apply it to your stamp. Next gently blot your stamp on a paper towel to 

remove access. Then stamp your cookie without pressing too hard; just 

enough to stamp it and not necessarily imprint it.

Do the same thing with the Eiffel Tower stamp using the black gel paste.

Step 4. Roll out the red fondant and cut out your hearts. Using a brush, 

dab your cut out lightly with water and apply it to your cookie.

You are done!

I hope you found inspiration in today's tutorial:) Enjoy your Valentine's Day!

Thank you Marilyn for inviting me to share my tutorial with your readers!
