Color me happy to have some time to play in my room! This one is another new-to-me stamp set which was gifted to me in either October or December. Shame, shame that I can't remember. If I was a gambling woman I'd say October (birthday). It's the cutest little Polkadoodles set called Stay Chirpy, and I just love it to pieces! I've linked to it at Simon Says Stamp, but it's out of stock.
I watercolored with Twinkling H2Os. Love those little pots of shimmery paints! So many pretty colors. The more water you use with Twinks the less twinkle you see, but it's there as a little surprise when you turn it certain ways. I put Black Diamond Stickles glitter glue on the polka dot wings, too.
I'm going to play along in the following challenges:
Darnell's NBUS Challenge #25 -- my birds are fresh out of the package.
Dies R Us Challenge #166 -- anything goes with a brand of dies that are sold in the store. My grass and flower corner dies came from the DRU store, but not sure they're still available as I've had them a few years: Poppystamps Hampstead Corner, Impression Obsession Grass and Grass Border
Stamps: Polkadoodles Stay Chirpy Paper: Fabriano Artistico Extra White 140 lb hot press watercolor, black cardstock, spicy coral textured cardstock Ink: Palette Noir Coloring: Watercolor with Twinkling H2Os Dies: Spellbinders Grand Squares, Poppystamps Hampstead Corner, Impression Obsession Grass Border and Grass (tall) Other: Clear rhinestones, Black Diamond Stickles, white acrylic paint
Love the cute quirky birds and grass-beautiful watercolouring!

Ohhh, Leslie! I can see why you love this set. I was prepared to purchase it myself, until you mentioned it being out of stock. Your color choices are pure spring time! I haven’t used my twinks in forever. What a great reminder. Such a tweet scene, and beautifully done! Hugs, de
