I have had such fun making this. When I saw the title Jo had chosen, for the current Stampotique challenge, I immediately remembered the rest of the verse by Ogden Nash:
"Spring has sprung,
The grass has riz,
I wonder where
The birdies is?"
... and realised it was perfect for the Stampotique bird stamp that I have. I've also realised why I like using the Stampotique stamps so much - they make me smile! (Click on the image to see all the detail)
Edit: I've discovered there's a second part to the poem - as follows:
"Spring has sprung,
The grass has riz,
I wonder where
The birdies is?"
The little bird is on the wing,
But that’s absurd!
Because the wing is on the bird!

Amazing, great colours! And I love that curly stuff, sure I've got some of that somewhere....
this is my favourite stampotique stamp :) and for some reason I always refer to this bird as a 'he'!! Great card :)
Oh my!!! This definitely makes me smile, I love those vibrant colors you used. It screams Spring!!! Thanks so much for joining us a Stampotique Designer's Challenge!
What a wonderful piece. Great fun! I love the colours.
I love the little poem - used to say it with my kiddies. Colors are fab!
I love this bird stamp, in fact, I think I need to get it. It's soooooo cute. I love this tag, it's wonderful. Your work has inspired me to purchase this stamp, which I think is the biggest form of flattery. I just love your artwork! So glad I found your blog.
Absolutely brilliant! I haven't seen this particular stamp before but it's great and you've hit the nail on the head about these stamps. I like them for exactly the same reason - they really make me chuckle!
