Tag Tuesday - new challenge

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at
-Spring Flowers-

Our challenge got off to a great start last week,
it was fun to see lots of people joining
in, so hope this week goes well, too.
My fave spring flowers are the pink and white blossoms on the
trees, and I eagerly wait till I see the first blooms - then I know
it is really spring. I used peeled, panted and embossed
cardboard for the background. The image is da Vinci's 'Leda',
stamped with Adirondack espresso, as I love the contrast 
between brown and soft pinks:






I am also linking to Allsorts Challenge, anything goes

These photos were taken in February and March last year:









Have a great day you all, 
take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!

  2. Pink is everywhere in this post. Your tag is amazing, as are the flowers. I actually think I own that same stamp, which surprises me, since I have so few. You certainly know how to use it better than I.

    Your lovely photos from last year are all very pink. The scenes are incredible and beautiful, and I will learn to like pink one of these days, I'm sure! Have a super Tuesday, dear friend.

  19. Wunderschönes Frühlings-Tag und Da Vinci's Dame paßt perfekt dazu. Die Fotos von der Frühlingsblüte letztes jahr sind so schön, auch meinen Liebllingsbaum die japanische Kirsche hast du so schön getroffen.Aber auch die etwas kälteempfindliche Magnolie sieht super aus. So eine kann ich in Nachbars Garten immer bewundern.
    Liebe Grüße
