Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 12

bundle_monster_BM12_stamping_plate

This stamping plate is from the first Bundle Monster set, it is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp.

This plate is a little difficult to work with, it took me about six goes to get a good stamp for the designs. The chains or the filigree designs are my favourite. Do persevere though as it is possible to stamp with the plate.

Sunday Stamping: Paisley Dress

Challenge today was to do nails inspired by your new summer dress, now technically I haven't bought any clothing for this summer so we shall have to do it based on a dress which I have seen and liked but not bought.

Time Period Challenge: Industrial Revolution

So for the industrial revolution I have attempted to do a spinning jenny of sorts with the cogs and the wool on the forefinger. As for the rest, I've tried to do a factory with all of its smoke and smog coming from the chimneys.
