DT day at Meljen's Designs

Hi everyone!
Today it's my turn again to show you something I made. First I have to tell you this story before I show you what I've made.
Last month I went to the Elf Fantasy Fair, a really big fantasy event in The Netherlands. For this event I made a new costume because my old one was too big. I've lost 20 kg's past year so I had a really good excuse to make something new :-) (the hat is also handmade by me, so it matched my dress)
I went for the Steampunk style and this is me in my costume.

I showed this picture to the other girls of the DT and gave Melissa because of this inspiration to draw a new image.
Guess which one she made??? Yes, you're correct: "Steampunk Girl". This girl is a bit inspired by me, how cool is that??

Ofcourse I had to make something with her and made this card. I've used the colours of my own costume to colour her up with my Prisma Coloured pencils and had so much fun making this card.I've used some really grungy papers and distressed the sides. Embellished my card with some gears and leatherlooking flowers. The flowers are made from grungeboard and then painted with  different metallic paints. The buttons I've got from my mom and I think they're really "Steampunk" looking.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and gave you some inspiration to make something with "Steampunk Girl" or one of the many other fabulous images made by Melissa which you can all find in the digital shop!!!
Have a great day and see you next time!
