Plantagenet Wreath - outlining the roses

The last bit of outlining, this time for the roses.

These are quite fiddly, involving three stages and colours:



That pink shade will actually come into its own later; for the outlining I'm using the yellow and off-white, and the darkest of the three shades of green we looked at earlier.

Firstly, the centres of the roses, in a slightly darker yellow than the broom flowers, Madeira stranded cotton no. 0106:



Next, the roses themselves, in no. 2402:



And finally the little green leaves between the rose petals, in no. 1412:


So that's everything outlined - I can start filling in the colour next.  I'm looking forward to it!
