I am excited to share the new release from
Artistic Outpost!
Paperboy is the newest plate from Artistic Outpost. The plate has the sweetest images of "newsies", the paper boys selling papers on the corners of the city streets. Also included are a newsprint collage, a megaphone for
announcing the latest and greatest, and sentiments professing that "you
are the hero in your own story".
I created a series of wall hangings using a series of chipboard coasters:
I started with stamping the paper boy image onto newspaper and coloring him with watercolor pencils and a waterbrush. I tore the edges and added distress ink around the edges.
The background was painted white and stamped over with the background stamp using a blue ink. I added a few banners from the
Country Life plate. The muslin was stamped with the script from
Secretary Pool
The second project uses the girls from the PaperBoy plate:
I kept singing the songs from Annie as these girls reminded me of the girls in the orphanage with Annie. I placed them in front of the cityscape and added the sentiment from
Kudzu Kafe.
The last image made me think of some of the big news days from different eras:
I used the images from the
Hero plate for the backdrop behind the newspaper boy. I added the rustic stars an the word Hero.
To see all the DT wonderful inspiration hop along to each of their blogs:
Thanks for stopping by!

Your tiny wall hangings are absolutely sensational! What a super approach to showcase these awesome images! Each one has such clever design elements to it and I agree with Alison that using the sentiment for Kudzu Kafe with the girls was totally brilliant. Love the HERO theme on the third one too!
