Hey dolls! I was so excited when the theme for this month's Polish Days was released. I had so many great ideas...unfortunately, none of them worked the way I wanted it to. I'll probably show you those fails at a later time. Yesterday I decided to take the easy route of stamping, which in actuality isn't that easy for me since I don't do it often. I started with two coats of Barielle Blossom, a gorgeous peach creme. After Blossom was dry, I stamped on geometrical patterns using Bundle Monster image plate #208 and a-England Saint George.
I'm pleased with the way this turned out even though it wasn't my initial goal. Sometimes you just have to roll with it. I love this color combo and Saint George compliments Blossom well. Make sure you take a look below at what all of the other ladies have come up with!
Love this combo! How was Blossom's formula for you? My bottle is pretty terrible, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely x
ReplyDeleteLove this! I've not tried stamping before and this has inspired me get shopping for some plates. Love the colour combo too x
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was lucky this time. I don't stamp often, so I'm really not that good at it. The only plates I have is the Bundle Monster 2 set. I keep telling myself I can't buy more until I actually use those.
ReplyDeleteThanks doll! It's always amazing how the manis we don't plan turn out looking like some of the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks doll! The formula was ok. It did not self-level well at all.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I love that color combo! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Susy! I love corals and teals together.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job at stamping, and what a great color combo!
ReplyDeleteThat pattern is freaking cool! Great job on the stamping!
ReplyDeletelove the contrast!
ReplyDeleteThanks doll! They go really well together!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really need to practice stamping more.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm trying to get better at it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the lady below, the contrast is great! Good job :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THOSE I need that stamp great job :)
ReplyDeleteAny tips on picking up the image on the plate? I used the same plate, same polish, but the stamp couldn't up up the image. Please help.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the best at stamping, so I don't have many tips. What worked for me was moving quickly (immediately picking up image after scraping), working on a flat surface, and scrapping the extra polish off at an angle. I've heard a lot of people say that it's easier to use an old gift card instead of the sharp scrapper.
