DT day at Meljen's Designs!

Hi everone!
Because this DT is going to stop by the end of the month I've decided to take a trip down memory lane. I thought it is only fitting to show my all time favourite projects I've made with the stamps of Meljen's Designs.
I've been part of this wonderful team for 2 and a half years and I loved everye minute of it. I'm sure going to miss my wonderful DT girlies, Melissa and her fabulous stamps and all the fun I had here.
I've picked 5 things, and I"m showing these not in any particular order. I just like these the most :)

The mouse and wordart which I asked for :)

 My haunted house, made with a kit from SVG Cuts and for the finishing touch some digi's  that fitted into the house.

 My polymerclay Steampunk cupcake

 A painting with the cute Stuffed Reindeer image

 And last but nog least, this Victorian Goth girl. She was inspired by one of my Steampunk costumes, so it was a big honour that Melissa used me as an inspiration for a stamp :)

I hope you liked to see my favourite projects of the past 2 and a half years. Although I won't be designing anymore for Meljen's Designs, I will be using her images because she'll always be one of my favourite stampcompanies.
Hope to see you in the future and wishing you all the best!
Melissa, thank you for working with you, as I said before I loved every minute of it!!! We'll keep in touch!
Keep on crafting everyone!
Hugs!

Vampire Queen

Tegenwoordig steek ik steeds meer tijd in kostuums maken, want daar kan ik eigenlijk al mijn hobbies mooi in combineren. Deze outfit had ik gemaakt voor het Fairytale Dance Event afgelopen 14 februari in Gouda.
De jurk had ik gekregen (nogmaals bedankt Thea!!) en heb ik als basis voor mijn outfit genomen, vind dit echt een hele mooie kleur. Na lang nadenken heb ik besloten om er een vampier koningin van te maken. Heb een heleboel ideetjes verzameld o.a. van Pinterest en zo ben ik tot dit resultaat gekomen.
Kroon heb ik zelfgemaakt met behulp van Worbla. Wat een leuk spul is dat zeg, je verwarmt het met de heattool, vormt het dan en zodra het afkoelt hard het in de vorm die jij wilt. Restjes kun je zelfs kneden en er figuurtjes mee vormen. Op die manier heb ik vleugels voor de kroon en staf gemaakt.
De ketting die ik draag heb ik ook zelfgemaakt, die heeft me echt 2 dagen van puzzelen en rijgen gekost maar ben zo trots op het eindresultaat. Deze ga ik absoluut nog vaker dragen.
Foto's zijn van diverse fotografen :)

En deze vind ik zelf helemaal te gek!! Frans de Winter heeft er een filter overgedaan waardoor deze foto nog veel intenser en "lelijker" is geworden. Hier ben ik echt een evil Vampire Queen. Zat blijkbaar goed in mijn rol hahahaha. Op deze foto zie je trouwens ook heel erg goed de paarse lenzen die in in had.

The costume and accessories I made for the Fairy Tale Dance Event which happened on february 14th in Gouda in the Netherlands.

I always wanted to make a vampire queen costume so this was what I came up with. The dress was a gift and I've used this as a base for my outfit. Love the colour of the dress.

Crown and wings of my staff are made with Worbla, love that stuff!! Necklace is also made by me, was quite a puzzle to make. Took me 2 days but I love the endresult. Definitely going to wear this necklace again!

Really love the last picture! The photographer put a bit of a dark filter over it, and I love the dark creepy way I look in this one. That's how an evil Vampire Queen looks. 

MD #250 Seeing Double

Welcom to a new challenge on the Meljen's Designteam and Challengeblog! This week we're "Seeing Double".  This means you've got to use 2 images on your card :)
For my card this week I've used "Artist Mug" and the wordart "Artsy Fartsy" together. I guess it's obvious they fit perfectly together.

When you play along with us, there is a chance for you to win some fabulous prizes! There will be a grand prize of 5 images for a project that uses an image of Meljen's Designs. Second place will win 2 images and third place will win 1 image. For these prizes you don't have to use an image of Meljen's, but when you do, you'll get an extra entry for the second and third prize drawing.
I hope you'll join in the fun!
