Here's a little something I tried, it's based on a Victoria Sampler freebie but I changed the shape of the hardanger and the filling stitches, and altered the rose and gold border a bit.
The cross stitch is done in DMC floche, and the gold is Petite Treasure Braid. The fabric is 28ct cream evenweave.

Nothing to show for it, but I just designed my own Hardanger doily/mat/slightly-larger-than-usual-for-me design and I feel terribly chuffed about it 
Must work only on the bookmarks at the moment, but after that I'll do this one! (
thinking of cream on black with hints of gold, but perhaps I should just do it white-on-white first)

You stitch such pretty things, Mabel! And the things you stitch are not only lovely, they are useful too!

Tidied up the design a bit (in the boss' time -- good thing I'm married to him ), so I thought I'd show you the chart and see what you all think. You may notice it's not exctly symmetrical, that's because I've put a few alternatives into one chart 
so the hardanger bits will either be "shields" or hearts, and the Algerian eyes "light" or very full. You can click on the picture for a bigger version.

Your rose design is very pretty, and you have a very impressive pattern there. Looking forward to seeing it stitched up

All of your work is stunning Mabel, but I especially love the candle and the Wedding design.
