Stamping Plate: MoYou London - Scholar Collection 06

I got this a few months ago as I'm not great at freehand letters.


This plate comes in a cardboard slip, and with a blue protective sticker.


It has the alphabet in both capitals and lower case, as well as some paper lines and five other school based images.


Since I have had this plate I have used it a few times and all of the letters used stamped across really well;
