Adding Artsy to your Persimmons Studio Stamps :: Kim Geiser

Good Morning Thursday Warrior!
We are almost at the end of our week, and what a wonderful way to start wrapping it up!

I have a fun FOUR MINUTE video to share with you
 from our friend, Kim Geiser!
As you know, we have had SUCH a great time with her stamps, and last week, I thought it'd be fun to head down to her studio in Manitowoc, WI and see what she's been up to with her new line!

Check out the video below for a fast-motion version of her bookmark project!


She used Woodland and Love stamp sets!
{psst... these stamps are 
still 15% off through today only!}
The fabulous watercolors she uses (in the glass bottles and cards) are from 
They are made with no binders so they are pure pigment.
There is NO weird chalkiness once it dries and you can still see your ink lines beautifully.


UPDATED (with full supply list):
Other supplies used:

  • water soluable wax crayons (available at Hobby Lobby), 
  • watercolor pencils 
  • traditional cake-style watercolors (all available at your local arts & crafts store)
  • Archival Ink for stamping
  • Sharpies are Kim's doodling pen of choice
  • white pen - Sakura Gelly Roll pens - they are super opaque and fast-drying (available at Michaels or any other arts & crafts store)
Watch Kim as she adds simple extra doodles to her stamped images to give them the artsy look you'd find in one of her original paintings and mixed-media pieces.
Friends, it is SO simple to get this "Doodled" look that is so in right now.

THE BEST PART about it is that there is NO right way!

Have fun and don't be shy to embellish the lines any way you like!

Happy Creating, we hope you ENJOY TODAY!

    1. Hi and thanks for watching! Kim used "Love" and "Woodland" stamps available at Market Street Stamps. She also used Peerless Watercolors (www.peerlesscolor.com), water soluable wax crayons (available at Hobby Lobby), watercolor pencils and a traditional cake-style watercolor tin. For the ink, she used Archival Ink that is available at Hobby Lobby as well. Sharpies are Kim's pen of choice, and for the white pen, she highly recommends the Sakura Gelly Roll pens - they are super opaque and fast-drying. Thanks for asking, I'll edit our post, too! :)
