Fabric Flower tutorial #2

I attached the flower to a tag with coordinating papers and ribbon to complete the gift ensemble...
It's hard to tell from the photo above, but I added some clear embossing using the wave/flourish image from the set HAPPY DAYS to give it a little added dimension and texture...
Here are a couple more shots of the flower that I created...
