I want to make the baby blanket that is under this baby. What would I use to cut out the scalloped edge? I am thinking of using sterilized scrapbook scissors also that do you think I could use to get the flower impression? Again thinking scrapbook stamp.

Any ideas?
TIA

In her comments she says that the large flowers in the pink part were done with a cutter. I've done something like that, just press the cutter into the fondant but not all the way through, then use a straw to make the center and a toothpick or veining tool to make the indentations around the center.

I've tried cutting fondant with scrapbooking scissors and it didn't work well because it got stuck in the scissors. It was also hard to line up the edges...but maybe you'll have better luck than me.

If you use scrapbook scissors spray them really good with Pam first. They aren't very sharp, but maybe you'll have luck. One way to find out-try.
