In this step, you will have to cut away the stump of the rose protruding from the surface of the ice. We need the surface to be approximately flat for later mounting the heart on the wooden board.

To cut away the stump, you will need some sharp knife. I used a paper cutter, but any sharp knife should probably work.

Since the rose is frozen, too, you will not be able to cut off the stump in one clean cut. Instead, you will have to scrape and cut off little bits of the rose until you have a flat surface like in the last picture. To not invest too much work in making the surface completely flat; when working with the ice later on part of it will melt anyway, so it will not stay exactly as it is now. All we need is a roughly flat surface.

In case you are not sure whether your knife is stainless, do not forget to wipe it dry afterwards.
