Day 18. Incognito Coloring & Giveaway

challenge_graphic-nov16_16x24

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.

    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

  3. Mirella ROGAN says

    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! 🙂

  4. Lucy Schmidt says

    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.

  5. Aileen says

    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

    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

  12. Jeanne says

    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! 🙂

  16. BunnyD says

    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.

  19. Becca Yahrling says

    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.

  26. Cheryl says

    I haven’t read the story about the Rainbow Fish but I love the summary! Your card is once again gorgeous!!! Love your coloring!!!!

  27. Tracey Magner says

    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??

  28. Linda Tupper says

    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.

  30. Quilt and Stamp says

    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.

  32. bev p says

    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.

  34. Kulbir Kirkland says

    Beautiful coloring. Love the card. I’ve never seen Maria’s stamps before …love them. Thankyou for sharig

  36. barb macaskill says

    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!

  37. Susan G says

    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.

  43. Jenna Batik says

    Great card and Maria’s store is awesome. Definitely going to have to put a few stamps on my wishlist.

  46. Patt H. says

    How cool! Love, love, love that awesome tree! Thanks for sharing this awesome new artist’s stamps. Your flamingo is awesome!

  48. Diane L says

    Love your card and the way you stamped the flamingo’s! Never would have thought of this. Thanks so much for sharing.

  50. Kathy Thisted says

    Cool tree! love the concept of stamping the triangle pattern over another stamp image to get a fractal image. Very nice! thank you!

  53. Kerry says

    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:)

  54. Susan Wareham says

    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.

  55. carol says

    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

  61. Bobbie says

    Love it and my hubby loves flamingo’s lol there’s a story to it but takes abit to tell. 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.

  72. Linda F says

    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

  73. Billie A says

    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.

  77. Carol H. says

    I love how you cut those triangles out and then popped up the rest!! It’s so pretty and yes, I agree, what great artistry Maria has! And you too!!

  78. Kailash says

    Wow how stunning is that design. Maria’s creativity with your talent is simply fabulous. Love it!!!

    Amazing technique. Love the way you can find inspiration from the Rainbow Fish.
    Love the card and the colors.

  94. Dot Freel says

    I just love your creativity! Love how you added the triangles to the flamingo and love how you cut out some on the tree and popped the tree up off the back. So beautiful and cool!

  96. Valerie Breingan says

    Sensational Kathy.I’m always intrigued when I se shapes stamped into other stamps.It brings so much depth and texture.These are wonderful.

    Hi Kathy!

    This looks lie it is so much fun! (Although I don’t envy you all of that cutting of triangles!) But what a fun card to receive and color! I remember the book” The
    Rainbow Fish!” I used to read it as a preschool teacher and Director, and to my son, of course.

    Thanks for the chance of yet another give-away!

    He-IS-Able!
