A Special Gift

Hey there!  Hope you're all doing very well!  It's getting warmer and warmer here in town, and I'm wishing that a cold front would come and give us another treat again before the 110 degree temps start setting in.  I enjoy the chilly weather rather than the intense heat!  hehe!

Okay, so it's time for another Lili's Little Fairies challenge and this week it is "Diamonds and Pearls".  So very pretty right?!  I enjoyed this as well! 
Image:  A Special Gift from LOTV
Papers:  Colorbok
Medium:  Distress Inks

I do hope you'll come over and join us at Lili's Little Fairies!  This week we are sponsored by the lovely Wild Orchid Crafts .. oOOoH how I LOVE their flowers!!!

Thank you so much for visiting me and taking the time to leave me a comment .. I really appreciate it!  Have a wonderful day and I'll see ya again soon!

Hugs,
Elise

Truly scrumptious, lovely Elise! This is just SO beautiful. I can't get over the colours you use; just perfect. The flowers on this one are beyond gorgeous. I too prefer the chilly weather - which is just as well because it's really chilly here! My daughter is off to her first ballet class tomorrow and she is beyond excited! Have a lovely week, hugs, Jayne xx
