Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 208 (BM208)

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. Then again I am very clumsy.

There are three full nail images on this plate and three single images. For me five of them stamped well but I did have problems with the bottom left image. I particularly like the fishnet image as doing that free hand is difficult, as is using striping tape to create such a look.
