Hello Friends, How about some incognito coloring for Day 18 .. PLUS I have another giveaway. Yipee!
Let me introduce you to Krumspring Stamps.. it’s a new small company by Maria Krumbak. I always noticed her beautiful art during the coloring challenges and she was always drawing triangles and coloring them …. incorporating them into her card making. Yup she’s talented and fast forward…now she has stamps. Maria sent me two packages for a giveaway with her stamps inside. You can check out here store here or her Instagram here & FaceBook here.
I have long admired Maria’s hand drawn triangles & I thought it would be fun to stamp the triangles on the flamingos. I stamped the tree on to the flamingos and colored with my Copic markers. In this photo I cut off part of the legs to get in there and cut the tiny bits and then I glued the legs back together with glossy accents. I colored the white edges with a Memento marker to give it a finished look. I like to use Memento marker because it doesn’t bleed through the edges into my coloring.
One of my favorite books that I read to my kiddos like 15 years ago was “The Rainbow Fish” So I am going rainbow fish incognito today. If my knife was sharper I would have ended up with nicer edges but, oh well. (My paper was 11o lb weight … that made it more of a challenge to use with a blade.) The great thing about this knife is it’s retractable!
Do you recognize this stencil. I still had not cleaned up from my previous days and I needed something super quick. I glued down the triangles that I cut and colored them with a beautiful sparkle marker.
I popped the tree with foam tape and put double foam tape on my bird. Ahhh… why the rainbow fish? Only a few scales on the fish were sparkly and unique. LOVE the message of that book.
GIVEAWAY!! 2 GIFT BAGS FROM Krumspring Stamps. Thanks to Maria for the generous giveaway! To qualify I will randomly select a winner from my blog subscribers. Just trying to make it easy for you all. Winner will be announced at the end of the challenge.
Thanks for your visit and I will see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Copic tutorial for Two Peas in a Bucket
Very unique designs! Love the colors and textures on your card!
Oh we have a rainbow fish book and Anne loved it! I love Maria’s stamps and I’m expecting a new release soon to spend some birthday money on. Love the look of this too. The colours with the added sparkle are beautiful. Xx
Love Maria’s stamps!haven’t had the chance to use any yet, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time 🙂 thanks, Kathy, for the lovely promotion of Maria’s work! 🙂
I checked out Maria’s store and was taken with the big ornament, the star, the stack of presents and the flamingos–especially what you showed could be done with them to make them extra special. Her graphic designs would be perfect for doodling and tangling. We should all keep our eyes on her. She’s got talent.
I couldn’t agree more. 🙂
I too have been following Maria and watched her go from drawing triangles to making stamps. Such a clever young woman. Thsnk you so much for supporting her during your colour challenge, it will mean a lot to her I am sure. Hugs Aileen
All my pleasure. I admire her talent and thankful for her support of my coloring challenges. 🙂
great card!
wonderful coloring!
This is a fabulous card – love the lowered triangles and triangled flamingo!
Oh wow another amazing card and i really like the coloring for this wonderful images. ♥
And the sparkle triangles are so fantastic.♥
Hugs and greetings
Angela
Wow! Great technique!!! I love your flamingos and the colouring!!! <3
Love your tree and the way you added the same pattern to the fun bird. Such a fun design to colour.

I don’t know this book and that is such a surprise to me as books have been a big part of my life from my early days. I shall look it up and read it! I love Maria’s stamps, and this tree is gorgeous with that mix of greens, just so pretty! xx
Wow, that is way cool. I loved the Rainbow Fish as well and read it often to my girls when they were young. Fabulous message. Fabulous coloring, too! 🙂
Congrats to Maria, I wish her much success!
And so fun to see unique stamps used in such clever ways!
This is so lovely l like the layout of your card so beautifully presented too! xx
Wow! This is super cool…
I love Rainbow Fish! I didn’t have any children but I love children’s books and have even collected a few. Wibbly Pig is Hiding is a hoot! It has flip ups on the pages. Sometimes it’s the illustrations, sometimes the humour.
I checked out her stamp site and I really like the stack of presents and love the flamingos! I’m not sure why the origami and cut up shapes don’t appeal to me so much. Perhaps too abstract for my muddled brain.
It looks like stained glass !! Loved the dimensional loo too:)
So creative! Just love this card!!
I sure wish we had Flamingos like this in So. Florida! I love the pink ones, but yours are truly spectacular.! Awesome idea to use the tree stamp to stamp them.
Really cute card! Love the flamingo.
Wow! What a design!
Beautiful design and amazing results. Thanks for sharing this technique with:)
What a fun playful card. And I love the triangle patterns. Those sparkly markers are awesome. great fussy cutting too. That was very tricky.
I’ve been seeing Maria’s stamps all over Instagram, love them!!
I’m loving the “outside of the box” design of this holiday card!
I haven’t read the story about the Rainbow Fish but I love the summary! Your card is once again gorgeous!!! Love your coloring!!!!
That is so cool ,love it. I have never heard of that book, maybe because I don’t have any kiddies, I will have to check it out. This challenge is flying by isn’t it??
Wow..How I so love that beautiful tree. I just checked out her stamps on Krumspring Stamps. I love the tree and those presents are adorable. Lovely stamp sets. Just love how you colored the tree, just beautiful.
Love a flamingo in winter- reminds me of living in AZ!
As someone who used to do stain glass I can really appreciate Maria’s triangular designs, I just checked out her store for more awesome stamps.
Pretty colors! Great design. It sure doesn’t look quick! It’s beautiful.
I am not familiar with the book or with the artist who did these stamps. What fun images! Like I said, that doily stencil makes a cool background with lots of things. It’s subtle, but quite lovely. You continue to amaze and encourage. Thank you.
Simply lovely coloring…!! Fantastic tree…!!
Beautiful coloring. Love the card. I’ve never seen Maria’s stamps before …love them. Thankyou for sharig
Absolutely fabulous! Marvelous dimension and visual interest and energy!
Rainbow Fish is a great book! LOVE your inspired tree and flamingo!! Great colors!
I am finally getting a chance to participate! I have posted a couple pictures on FB on the challenge page!
These stamps look awesome and I am adding to my wish list now! LOL TFS!
Best wishes to Maria. I am really liking the triangles. I love how you stamped them on the flamingos. But, I REALLY love how you colored all of those triangles and then made some of them glittery….and then the cutting/layering. Wonderful final effect.
Love the triangles. I have a stamp or two with the oragami
lines but haven’t tried them yet.
Your tree and flamingo are fantastic.
thanks.
Very cool. I like the triangles stamped on the flamingo.
Wow – another amazing card. The triangles are cool and I love the glittery effect.
Love the rainbow fish books–miss reading them to my kids–who are now adults! More lovely coloring and inspiration, great stamps!
Love the triangle idea! Tfs!
Great card and Maria’s store is awesome. Definitely going to have to put a few stamps on my wishlist.

Love those stamps, and your coloring is beautiful. Love the sparkle.
Love your card and the way you stamped the flamingo’s! Never would have thought of this. Thanks so much for sharing.
Cool card, I love your snazzy flamingo!
Cool tree! love the concept of stamping the triangle pattern over another stamp image to get a fractal image. Very nice! thank you!
Beautiful tree!
What a cool design!! I love that flamingo and stamping him with the triangle pattern was such a fun idea.
Love that idea to stamp a stamp on top of image just for pattern!! & I remember the Rainbow Fish- love the 1 sparkly scale idea:)
Saw this on instagram and was wondering why it looked so 3D thought it was your coloring and now I know its because of the cut outs. So Cool.
I’ve been following Maria on instagram and I agree: her stamps are amazing! Your showcase here, with inspiration from Rainbow Fish, is fractal fabulous! Swooning…again!
Hugs~carol
I like the stained glass look. Awesome

Thanks Kathy love each day I am getting caught up checking them out after being by my friends side for the past 2 weeks but all is good she has bounced back and is in a rehab center trying to get strong again.

Hi Kathy, love the color!! The dimension you created by cutting out the triangles and marble colouring others, just great!! Haven’t read The Rainbow Fish but it is on my list of things to checkout. Really enjoying watching your work, I’m colouring but I don’t share as it isn’t good enough but still a lot of fun!!
I was unfamiliar with this company… thanks for the intro! LOVE how you colored this, the sparkle and how you added depth – genius!!
WOW Kathy this is gorgeous!!! I had never heard of Maria or her company, thanks so much for sharing her information! Will check her out for sure and wow what a generous giveaway! Thanks so much for the chance, this would be wonderful if I were ever so lucky.

These stamps are great fun. I like how you stamped over the flamingo to match the tree. Fabulous colouring. Definitely have to check out Krumspring
Love the colors. Love that you as always think out side of the box and do the triangles on the flamingo. Great look. I like that you did a few of the triangles flat on the card and it sure gives a great look with the tree popped up.. I will have to check out this new company.
Beautiful look of “stained glass”!
