Combine Pink with Violet for dark pink shown. Combine Moss Green with Buttercup Yellow for green shown. Combine Buttercup Yellow with Leaf Green for yellow shown. Use fondant roller with pink guide rings to roll out each color, separately, 1/16 in. thick. Use straight side of round cut-outs B, C and D and straight side of oval cut-outs A, and B to cut shapes from each color of fondant. Use knife to cut triangle balloon knots, each 1/4 in. x 1/4 in.
