A gorgeous simple but stunning card to start off Advent, I love it and also using gilding flakes, they remind me of the shaving foam technique where it is all a big mess and then suddenly beauty appears, it's magical every time and also makes me remember Magic Painting books from when I was a child : ) I do have to remember to be patient and wait until the glue has changed colour before putting the flakes on though! <br />Have a good day.

Sadly no cabin in the woods this year but come this weekend I will have either a Christmas movie or music on and will be putting the tree up!<br />Looking forward to day 2 and more of your festive advent blogs xx<br />Much love<br />Kim xVacantmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640424665632267681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-63528791636540296312014-12-01T22:39:51.994+00:002014-12-01T22:39:51.994+00:00The tree looks so lovely.

I've always wanted to see what ...Hi Barbara, <br /><br />I've always wanted to see what gilding flakes on artwork are like in real life, maybe I need to take advantage of your generous offer and find out by giving this technique a try!! I think it's like the angelina fibres where photos and telly don't do it justice.<br /><br />Please don't worry about how others blog, you wouldn't be being you if you did it differently. And you wouldn't have gathered such a large lovely and caring extended Clarity family, nor would I have felt part of this enough to want to try to join in :-). I love your blog.<br /><br />I also very much love yesterday's artwork, and your amazing talent. It always amazes me how you can take a piece of scrap, see a scene in it, and make that scene come to life with the end result looking just perfect and as if it was all meant to be. I think for my next challenge I need to be getting my gelli plate out the packet and actually using it (only owned it for well over a year!!!) so that I too can start a 'scrap' box! I've even got the box for putting the 'scrap' in!!!! Had yet another tidy up which left me with a spare storage box that I keep moving out the way round my craft room while wondering what I should put it in, that must be a sign!!!!!<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed your log fire last night. Wish I could have one, curled up all cosy in front of a real fire watching the flames, listening to the logs crack and shift and smelling the real wood, (but not the cleaning it requires!). When my brother and I were kids, our Aunty Mi and Uncle Pete (ex farmers) had an open fire and sometimes we'd all go and stay with them on the estate Uncle Pete was gardener for. My first experience of rural countryside, and log fires. Still crave both, I think I was meant to be a rural soul (but not a farmer where anything gets killed!!!) but circumstances don't allow with the help and support I need, unfortunately :-(. Anyway my brother and I would fight over who was putting the next log on the fire, so a rota system was put in place! We must have drove everyone nuts, as soon as one had put their log on the other was repeatedly asking 'is it time yet' and checking through the log pile for the biggest nicest one to put on!!!!! Aunty Mi was a lovely lady, but scary, there was a saying everyone had for her "that's Aunty Mi whispering"!!!! One of her favourite yells to us was "pit a bit wud in the hole" (put a bit wood in the hole, i.e. shut the door)!!!!!<br /><br />Love Brenda xxBrenda Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319199253488833078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-13222250008361359172014-12-01T18:55:01.025+00:002014-12-01T18:55:01.025+00:00This is so clever, love it xxThis is so clever, love it xxLisapmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695918651363501014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-28469395339876433522014-12-01T18:03:31.386+00:002014-12-01T18:03:31.386+00:00This is very pretty Barbara and the gilding flakes...This is very pretty Barbara and the gilding flakes have stuck well with the Cosmic Shimmer glue, and their is no fuzziness of the lines.
