As you may have seen in my previous post I got halfway there with one made from the largest flower (6.5 cm) on a Sizzix die. On Saturday I spent my evening practising making them from the smaller (4 cm) of the two flowers and I think I've got it cracked.
I remembered to use double sided paper which makes a whole lotta difference, and on some I inked the edges of the petals and on one I used some crystal glitter and another I used Ranger Distress Stickles Rock Candy.
I'm really pleased with how these turned out once I got the hang of them. I think I have a little 6 petalled flower punch somewhere, I wonder .................?
Before I close this post just a little reminder that my friends and I finished posting our projects for February on our Craft Stamping Quartet blog, in case you haven't had chance to have a look at them yet. It was Jo's turn to choose the project from March's issue of Craft Stamper and I'm off over there now to do a little post of sneak peeks. Here's a tiny taster.
Hope everyone is getting the sunshine we've been having for the last few days and that your week has got off to a good start. Thankyou for taking time to visit and please leave a comment so I can visit you back.
Hugs

Wow! Your roses are really stunning Lesley! They look beautiful!
Hi Lesley, I would say you have definitely cracked the roses - they are brilliant!

Great roses well done. Wait till you try them with a 7/8th inch punch - seriously fiddly but very pretty.
Hi Lesley
Clearlty you want to be a perfectionist at these roses and it looks like you cracked it.
I especially like the brown and aqua one as I always think that's such a prefect colour combo.

I'll say you've got the hang of it, they are gorgeous!!! And don't you just love that Rock Candy stickles? I've left a comment on your quartet blog. How's the leg and foot? Back to antique linen / tattered rose yet - if not, then soon I hope?

Lovely roses!
Hugs, Christina

Perserverance certainly pays off, Lesley! Roses are brilliant. How about posting a tutorial for us hopeless folks?

Hi Lesley
Yes, you have well and truly mastered the art of rose making !!
They are all gorgeous!
You will be putting them on everything now as they are very addictive.
Love Jules xx
Hi Lesley - you've definitely cracked it - these roses are fab. To date - I've managed one that's passable but must admit I haven't put the practise in. This shows that it's really worth while persevering. Glad I managed to get on line and see this post.

Definitely cracked it, Lesley! These are all stunningly gorgeous, but like Brenda, I love the brown and aqua ones in particular.
Looking forward to seeing your next quartet project in its entirety. x
Hi Lesley - this is more than cracked it - these are beautiful. Well done.
