Faded Rose Wreath



I have literally been dreaming about this wreath. I purchased the wreath form months ago. On Tuesday, I burned my fingers to a crisp with my glue gun fashioning these lovely "Faded Roses" I made 18 of them. I am working on a garland too. I am visioning a white Christmas, can you tell? Tutorial on how to make your own Faded Roses coming soon, I promise!

I posted this on Etsy today (I started an Etsy account last year and haven't really used it). This evening I got 2 emails saying it was featured on an Etsy Treasury. {Click to view Treasury 1 and Treasury 2}. I cannot tell you how proud I am!
