Something the cat coughed up?

So I checked out the awesome tutorial on Splitcoast yesterday for the Crinkled Ribbon Flower, and for the first time in history went over to my desk to make one RIGHT NOW. I have some sheer fabric that came in a collage pack, and I used that for all but the 'fringed' piece. Once I assembled the whole thing I admired it and then made a mistake. I showed it to my husband, who said:

"what's that supposed to be?"

and

"it looks like something the cat coughed up."

I swore it would look better once it was ON something, so here's hoping it does:

Supplies: paper from Sassafrass; cream adhesive lace from Hero Arts; leaf die from Memory Box; Olive Vine Glimmer Spray - Tattered Angels; Peeled Paint distress ink; Studio G sentiment; brad from stash; stick pins made following Yvonne's fabulous directions here. 

I am loving those stick pins - I'd like to find some longer corsage-style pins but these ones will do for now! And I have a LOT of beads left over from previous crafting explorations, so I could conceivably make a lot more of these. At least a million. 

Well, that was a nice little break from Christmas. Now back into that mess ;)
