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 

PEERLESS COLOR. 

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!

Ready to check out the gorgeous inspiration our DT whipped up for you today? ME TOO!

DoBea Alberts: DoBea's collage-y theme really compliments the illustration style of these stamps!

Stephanie Muzzulin: The pattern paper couldn't be more perfect for this set! Easily incorporate supplies you have on hand and stamp on a more solid pattern to complete your card effortlessly!

Samantha Casey: SO pretty! These colors totally make me happy, and as always, Samantha's coloring is amazing. 

Jinny Newlin: Ok now how CA-UTE is this? Jinny made these veggies stand out even more with some glitter in the heart and a little shadow all the way around!

Stephanie Washburn: Love the simplicity of this masked technique! If you're not hungry by now...

Julie Day: Julie's incorporated her own doodling to create a perfectly imperfect grid of characters! I love how each of them is highlighted and could be a fun bingo game for kiddos, too!

Amy Kolling: I adore Amy's clean and crisp style! This kraft stripe behind white lends a perfect backdrop to that lemon yellow yolk and bright red heart. (psst... did you know Amy's in Paper Craft's Gallery Idol contest? We are SO happy for her!! Be sure to click here to vote!)
