Sunday Stamping: Spring

What is more Spring like than pastels and cute animals. I used the stamping decal method to get the colours in the animal faces.

Stamping Plate: QA79


review-demo-QA79-nail-art-nails-stamping-stamped-nails

This stamping plate has 13 images on, stars, crosses, faces, lightening bolts and what looks to be an RFID Barcode. I found that all of the images stamped well, and the only one I struggled with were the filled in stars although I think that is down to my scraping technique.

I was particularly impressed by the line stars. Overall the stamping plate works well and the images are quite fun and can be used in various designs. You can see a couple of these nail art designs which I have done using this stamping plate;
