NEW RELEASES - ARTISTIC OUTPOST

Introducing four new stamp releases

The wait is finally over.  Artistic Outpost is pleased to bring to you four brand new rubber stamp collections that are vintage, edgy, and extremely artful.
We are happy to present: Diesel Punk, Charles and Amelia, Industrial Chic, and London Elements.
What is Diesel Punk? What happened to Steampunk?  We still very much love the Victorian magic that is the rage of steampunk, however, we decided to advance the timeline and the trend to a more modern look.  It’s like steampunk but with a combustion engine.  To us, Diesel Punk is a style that blends the “edge” of steampunk with the art and culture of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. We think of motorcycles, roadsters, red lipstick, trench coats, jetpacks, and jet engines.  Three of our new releases evoke our interpretation of this style.

Diesel Punk:
Includes images of good looking guys, a beautiful dame, a kid ready to be a rocketeer, and fast machines to tempt their fates.  
Images featuring the king and queen of the skies when flying was more than transportation – it was an adventure.
I have created a hinged card with the Charles and Amelia plate, the front has been created from some Christmas packaging I saved, painted with Gesso and aged with Distress Stains. I added four pieces of card to the background covered in vintage paper then added the stamped images in coffee Archival Ink, sponging the edges with vintage photo Distress Ink to add to the aged feel. The actual card is also made from grey board and coverd with kraft card and then attached to the door hinge.
I have cut cogs from grey board using the mini gears set, coloured with Distress Inks and added clear rock candy to the top of each. I love the propeller and added this to the centre of my piece adding a copper brad to the centre.
The inside of my hinged card uses images from Industrial Chic below, which works perfectly with all of the other new releases, a perfect combination together.
Industrial Chic:
Backgrounds for any of your projects – steam, diesel, or any other kind of punk.
More of our favorite images featuring the fun icons of London. These work beautifully alone or combined with London Underground or Loverly London.

Pop along to my fellow DT members, inspiration is abound!


Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the new releases as much as I have. I will have more artwork with the new releases over the next few weeks so stay tuned. Tracy x x
