1 x Tooth Brush

1 x Paint Tray 

Paper Towel for blotting

Place a small amount of each of your 3 selected colours into the paint ensuring they cannot mix with the other colours

Pour a small amount of Rose Spirit into the opposing 3 sections (this makes is easy to load with Rose Spirit and then load a single colour

Load your flat brush with Rose Spirit

Tip your brush to one side and slide across one colour (Double Loading) tip your brush to the other side and load with another colour (Triple Loading)

You will need to work quickly as Rose Spirit is 99% Alcohol and dries extremely fast

Keeping the darkest colour to the outer side of each section being painted, run the flat brush gently and smoothly down from top to bottom.  Do not press too hard or you will mark your fondant

Continue to blend by dipping into the Rose Spirit and blending your colours

Use your paper towel to wipe or take excess colour and Rose Spirit from your brush if too wet or too much colour.  

With this method you do not need to clean your brush between each colour change

NOTE: if you don't achieve your desired effects you can continue to add or remove colour with the same method. 

Using your Toothbrush, dip top edge into one pure colour (NO Rose Spirit) 

Place your cookie onto some paper towel and flick with your finger to spray detail onto design (the paper towel is only to save cleaning up)

Take your Fractal Pen and highlight the debossed sections.  Most detail will be achieved by holding your Fractual Pen sideways to the cookie and more upright for the finer details 

We hope you enjoy this little FREE art tutorial and find it informative in helping you take your cookie creations to the next level
