Step 1:
Created the Macrons by cutting fat
oval shapes (use a die or punch or electronic cutter, or cut by
hand...) - you need 3 the same size ovals for each Macarons. Keep
one of your negative pieces as well to use as a stencil.
Step 2: Place the stencil approx 3/16"
above the bottom edge (you can see this with the open space from the
negative cut out), hold the negative piece and your oval firmly and
sponge with your meringue color, laying down a heavier color around
the edges going to nothing in the center.
Step 3: Remove stencil and sponge
the upper edge
Step 4: then sponge the lower edge where the traditional
feet of Macarons is.
Step 5: Sponge the 2nd oval in a similar way
placing the stencil approx 1/4" above the bottom edge and
sponge. Remove stencil and sponge the bottom edge white area.

Step 6: With a matching colored pencil that
is slightly darker than your sponged color add little nicks and dots
to create the "feet" look. (pay attention to what area
your are adding the nicks...)
You can
color the 3rd oval which is your filling or leave it white and use
Viva Pearl Pens or Liquid Pearls to give that glossy filling look.
Step
7: Adhere the 3 layers.
Step 8: add the Viva
Pearl or Liquid Pearls in a thin bead.
