CQJP 2013: Feb. Block Done

Now all I have left is to finish it into a page!  Yay!  LOL

Do you like all the bead sprays added into the bouquet?

I added a hand charm on the left, which is attached using clear thread, gotta love that stuff!!!  I also added a rosebud laying across the table and saucer.  The bud is made the same as the others in the cup's bouquet (13mm ribbonwork rolled and gathered bud, with 7mm ribbon stitch petals over the top and a couple of straight stitches for the sepal).  I added a twisted ribbon stem which I also tacked with clear thread.  The leaf stem is also twisted ribbon and ribbon stitch leaflets, all in 7mm silk ribbon.
