Roses - - nuntium ducentesimum octogesimum tertium

I've been back at my rose bookmarks again (for the craft fair).  These are a combination of Jeanne Lugert's rose, a modified version of Frivole's leaf (modified because I goofed not because it wasn't wonderful) and my own variant for the the little leaf by the rose.  One of them even has some of Ninetta's treble tatting for the sepals which was fun to try. Here's her handy youtube video to help if you haven't tried it yet.

I cleaned the house all day today so tonight and tomorrow will be all "panic tatting".  ; )

Final product nuntium duocentesimum duodecimum

I've made these before but they are good retirement/change of life gifts  The ideas behind it are not my own. The flower is Jeanne Lugert's 3d rose, the bottom leaf is modified from Frivole, the leaf under the rose is even more modified from that and the card is an idea I saw on Singtatter's (?) blog.
Just my take on it all.

Hopefully there won't be too many more but I have two back-ups.  : )
