Snowflake (?) Ornament, Ecelctic Challenge #8

Hello Crafters!
Again, I could not decide on my project for the challenge at Eclectic Ellapu so I made two projects.  Yesterday I posted the Christmas Cracker treat holder.  Today I have the snowflake ornament.  Or, at least it was supposed to look like a snowflake.  Not sure I accomplished that.  However, I am happy with the way the "ornament" turned out.  Take a peek:
I used the new ornament die-cut set and some Christmas DSP from Stampin' Up to make this project along with some tulle and ribbon  from the fabric store.  I also used a Christmas embellishment from K & Company for the center.  I didn't care much for the starburst in the middle of the embellishment so I added a snowflake bead.  I then sprayed with Champagne Mist.  I'm not sure if there are any "official" instructions out there to make this ornament but, I did get some from my demonstrator.  So, I fumbled through it and learned a few things along the way.  I have now made 3 of these ornaments in different colors/prints, etc. and have plans to make a few more.

The ornament I made in class is below.  I actually made it at home after the class and added several of my own elements to fluff it up a bit.
I'm not sure I like the lace in the back now that I'm looking at it but I know the person that receives this will.  I added glitter glue on the blue & the white ornament pieces, a doily behind the snowflake (which I turned glitter side out), a paper flower to the center, glitter paper behind the button and some glittery string through the button.  Of course I had to spray with my favoritest Champagne Mist spray form Stampin' Up too.  Big thanks to Suzie Wood for the class and the instructions!  I have one more that I'm still fiddling with that I will most likely post later this week.

Well, I hope you will play along with our challenge at Eclectic Ellapu.  We would love to have you join us.
