Hello Friends, How’s it going? I am popping in today to celebrate a sweet & newish stamp company called Krumpspring Stamps. Maria (the owner of Krumbspring) would play along during the 30 day coloring challenges adding her triangles & beautiful art to stamped images. It’s been fun to watch Maria’s little company grow. So… a round of applause for Krumspring Stamps & their 1st Year Anniversary Hop.
Seriously I don’t think I will ever get tired of coloring flowers and I couldn’t wait to color these babies called, “Bloom“. Can you tell which one I colored first?
A softly colored flower is what I was going for and I added a little to much detail and color to some of the petals. The colored pencils I used were Chameleon … the box is light weight and easy to travel with plus I love the way the box props up using less space.
When I was coloring the flower I tried to make more of a distinction between the petals on the inside & outside of the flower but, to me all the petals ended up blending together. I wanted to give it another try. The sentiment was stamped with some “Smoke” ink.
For the second flower started by coloring the outside of petals first and tried to give them more distinction by adding more lines to the outside of the petals only. I wanted the inside to be ablaze with color … more than the first flower.
Have you tried Simon Says Stamps copic friendly ink? The ink also works great with colored pencils and I love the name … “Barely Beige“.

Lovely flowers. Thank you for the inspiration.
The colors in this card are so beautiful and delicate! Nice work!
Your cards are Just BEAUTIFUL!
You truly are the coloring queen! I mean – this is just so amazing !!!!!!! THANK you for your kind words (I am so touched) and for participating. Means so much to me. xo Maria
Thank YOU, Maria! I am so happy to participate and just love, love, love this floral stamp!!!!
Wow what a realistic looking flower. Simply stunning.
What beautiful images and coloring! Wow!
WoW! Love seeing what beauty comes out in finished product. Love all the stamps and coloring. Just fantastic.
Both are wonderful! I was introduced to Krumspring by you dear lady. Happy 1st to them. A great company and their stamps are so precise when used. Looking forward to the video on the Chameleon pencils. Happy day……
Absolutely stunning!
Hi Kathy, These flowers are STUNNING ! Like you, flowers are my favorite thing to color, I always seem to gravitate to them. You can definitely see the difference between the outside and inside of the petals, they are just so pretty and look so real. I went to the website, they have a lot of adorable stamps, I saw quite a few I would like to purchase. The website was a little confusing on how big the stamps were and the cost, but when I have more time later in the week I am sure I can figure it out. Well CONGRAT’S to Maria.
I do know what you mean as the prices are not in USD…. however you’ll be delighted after the conversion. The stamps are amazing quality at very reasonable prices! Cannot recommend krumspring stamps, enough!!!
Beautiful coloring and lovely stamp!
Both versions are beautiful!! Your pencil coloring is always stunning!!
Oh my Katy!! Your interpretation of that stamp is MINDBLOWING!! So so beautifil!! I really love both versions the same! Hugs, Tina
Aweee, thanks so much, Tina.

Thank YOU, Maggie – for your continued kindness.

After reading your description, I studied the flowers carefully. At first, I hadn’t noticed the differences. This lesson will help me be more observant and hopefully my coloring won’t keep looking so flat. Liked how you added the lines of color. Did you know what that flower was or just decided to create it that way?
I just decided to add more details and depth! I honestly don’t know what this flower is, LOL! Thanks for your kind words, Lindsey!
Absolutely beautiful work! AND happy 1 year anniversary Krumspring Stamps!!
I am always blown away by your outstanding coloring. The detailing you add is amazing! The bloom stamp set is beautiful and you have taken it to a whole other level with your expert coloring skills. Thanks for the incredible inspiration!!!
I loved the card. Happy Anniversary. Hope you have many more successful years!
Kathy, your cards are so beautiful! As always, the coloring is superb & those floral stamps are awesome. You are truly an artist!

You should frame these Kathy, they are gorgeous. I do see the difference between the two but still think you achieved a distinction in the first card. Your colouring is so refined, so elegant. You always make me want to get my colouring out and try and improve! Thanks for sharing with us, Lisa xx
