You did a great job on this...your roses are beautiful. Did you use a five petal cutter or just do one petal at a time?
For the roses, I made one petal at a time. I like the variation in size and petals per tier or layer one can get with cutting each petal. One must get pretty fast for cutting, frilling each petal, and then attaching the petal to be comfortable with the one petal at a time method - which to me is really cutting, frilling, and attaching 20 petals at a time... or some other large number!
