Challenge 16 – Roses. I enjoyed this challenge though it required more discipline than I usually display! Most of the time, I make short cut flowers that I can duplicate easily for 100 plus cookies. It was good for me to spend time focusing on basic technique. I have always struggled with the 101s tip – this time was no different! I hadn’t completely thought through the composition before I started. Once I had the fence up and roses in place, I felt like it needed something. I channeled my inner Julia with a stamp and paper wafer embellishment, which turned out to be just what was needed. I had a lot of fun with this challenge and the stamp fits my daily intention!
This is a beautiful entry. I'm glad you added the butterflies and the message; they really complete the design. Piping roses is one of those techniques that improves with practice. Your roses have a wonderful organic feel with the different sizes and varying degrees of openness. This cookie should be framed and placed for all to see.
I love this one - and I do see your inner-Julia very clearly channeled here! LOL!
Yes, my inner Julia was definitely needed to finish this off! I was so thrilled to add the butterflies - after conquering my fear in the class, I was able to make them so quickly!

Thank you so much Christine. I was glad to have the incentive to play around with traditional roses. I've really become a corner cutter in so many ways. It's good to practice things that I don't use very often!
