Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 314 (BM314)

Review-Bundle-Monster-314-BM314

This stamping plate is from the third Bundle Monster set, from 2012. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is useful, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms which I have been known to do accidentally in the past with other stamping plates.

On this stamping plate there are three full nail images, and three single images. All of these stamped well, the only one I struggled with was the floral image. Below are some nails I did using this plate:
