Donna Downy Wreath

So I know I have been away from my blog for a LONG time now and what's funny is that I have done a ton of layouts that I want to share as well as a few little projects but just haven't taken the time to do it.  So that being said I am going to MAKE myself start posting again tonight with some things that I have done. But I totally want to start with this since I'm working and can't be home to take pics of things right now.  This is a tutorial that Donna Downey did of a burlap wreath.  And with spring around the corner (actually it's been feeling like summer here all week we have had high 70s and today maybe 80) I thought was a fun spring/summer project.  I was thinking that if you made a few of these you could use glimmer mist or the ranger spray inks or any spray ink for that matter, and mist the flowers different colors.  So even though she does not color them you could and use summer colors, or fall colors when fall comes or even Christmas/winter colors.  I'm going to definately try one of these because I love the whole natural feel of them kinda like the Pottery Barn/earthy look.  That's kinda my thing but if you do make one please post it on your blog and post a link here to it in the comments so I can see your creation.
