AC letter Q as in Quiz

This is my take for The Craft Barn Alpha Challenge

AC_Nisse

ALPHA DICTIONARY CHALLENGE - LETTER N

I choose Nisse - ( Tomte - Elfs )

I used to sing for my DD before they should sleep and one of the songs was "Den største mand" (The biggest man) about a little Nisse who travelled around the world ... so here's the Nisse - drawn an d painted - and then added some stamps.

ALPHA DICTIONARY CHALLENGE - Lotus Flower

I join week 21 at The Craft Barn Alpha Dictionary challenge... 

Challenge with a twist this fortnight. 

LETTER L

and there must be a WINDOW on your page/ ATC

I choosed Lotus and made mosaik window around it with the leaves.

Lotus flower: Silhouette download and cut - glued 3 pieces and used as a stencil - added modellierpaste and paintet with acrylic paint.
I really enjoy the little pond we have in our garden with water lilies so I wanted to make a kind of mosaik window of the leaves. I draw the leaves around the lotus flower - cut them out with a knife and painted with acrylic.

Thougt it was time to make the front of my dictionary I am useing for my AJ .I covered the book with gesso and acrylic paint. Used some small stamps from Prima and added a mask. In the cornes did I use some Fragments and embossing powder and added a corner piece of Filigree Metal from The Funkie Junkie Boutique. The Mini Bookplate from Tando Creative is covered with crackle paint and distress ink.
