Deb's "Making the Dates" .........

I've been having a little play making some dated stamped circles. In my first December Daily I used a mix of different thickers/stickers that I had in my stash and last year I bought the chipboard ones from the range of papers I used.  So this year I decided to make my own.

 Firstly I scribbled pink and aqua coloured gelatos on a mat (they are quite bright colours)......... 

And then sprayed it with a LOT of water to tone them down and made a BIG gelato puddle.

I placed a piece of white cardstock in it, lifted it and put it down again and I still had quite a puddle left so dipped another piece in, lifted it and put it down again and liked the last piece (that's the top one)  more.  It had a more subtle effect so decided to go with that one to punch out my circles.

When it had completely dried, I brushed quite a bit of white paint onto a script stamp and stamped randomly over the coloured cardstock.  You can barely see the script now lol but I like the effect.

Then I punched out my circles (I usually only go up to the 26th in my Dec Daily but I punched out a few more just in case).   I've kept some of the negative from my punched circles as it might come in handy and also kept the first piece of card that I dipped as I will use it somewhere.

I loaded some date stamps with paint and stamped onto the circles.

I haven't added anything else to them yet.........as I go along each day some might get a doodled border or some lace around the edge, they could be a flower centre, a sun, a journaling spot

 (with some very small writing maybe around the edge)   I'll see as I go along.

How are you going with your December Daily preparations. 

 We would love to see them........
