After several attempts, I finally was able to make the tea rose that Rosanne at A Moms Impressions made. (She can also be found at RoxyCar11 on Youtube.) I tried putting a button on a lop-sided one (at top). I tried to cover up a lack of petals by adding gold stickles (at right). I made another one that I obviously didn't roll up enough because instead of looking like a rose, it looks rather like a camellia (at left). Nice flower, but not what I was going for. Using darker cardstock than the first three attempts, I succeeded (bottom). I don't think it was the cardstock - but the change allowed me to let go of the failures and go forward. It's strange how just a little change in thinking can alter a person's perspective. However, I think my circle base is still too small to get the best result. Anyway, thanks so much Rosanne! Your tutorials are priceless. I can't afford to buy the pre-made Prima flowers I see on other people's blogs and tutorials. But I don't have to go without flowers, as Rosanne has shown me.
Ah! you are so sweet Angela!!!!! Keep trying you'll get the hang of it! My first ones were not that great but the more you make them - the better you'll get!!! I just love ya! HUGS Rosanne
