Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 202 (BM202)

This stamping plate is from the second Bundle Monster set, from 2011. 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 branded plates.

There are six images here on this plate, I actually hadn't noticed I had a zip stamped image so I need to put that to good use. All of the images stamped well, the middle bottom one looks a bit weird but that was because I had an issue with my XXL stamper and the stamp end falling out.

Brush Type: Standard
How Much? 10ml

Sunday Stamping: Skyline

I had been wanting to use the skyline stamping image since I first got it, originally I would have gone with a night time back ground but then the stamping wouldn't have shown up as well. I used the saran wrap / clingfilm method for the background.

Base Polishes: Maybelline - Cool Blue 651, Barry M - Blue Grape 317
Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 414
Stamping Polish: Nails Inc - New York Noir

Stamping Plate: MoYou N13

This particular stamping plate is from MoYou, it is backed which helps stops the sharp edges from cutting you.

 

This is a Halloween stamping plate and it has seven images on. All of these stamped well although the bat's wing has bleed a bit but that was because I accidentally dropped some acetone on the paper.
