Born Pretty Stamping Plates, Mandala Theme plate & Travel Theme plate

Good evening, hope you had a happy Sunday!  It's been a busy week with the kids home from school and Thanksgiving and my youngest was baptized.  So yeah, I'm finally coming up for air.  I'm sitting here at home with a full belly of leftover ham soup, watching Hallmark Christmas movie, doing laundry and taking a relaxing breather.  I have had these for a while but with all the holiday items launching, and seeing as how these aren't seasonal, they had to wait!  But now I can share them with you, a few stamping plates from Born Pretty Store.  I have the Mandala Theme plate (purchase HERE) and the Travel Theme plate (purchase HERE).  Both are still available for $3.99 each.  Let's check them out!  Don't forget to use my code JTOW10 for 10% off your regular priced order.

I have to admit I'm not a big fan of this plate.  The idea of the images is odd to me, the ground floor looking up view of buildings.  But they have a neat geometric vibe so I used that for my mani.  I started with an iridescent flakie covered grey creme and used black to stamp some chevron lines.  It actually turned out pretty cool and looks a bit art deco.  I could totally wear this for a NYE mani!  If you want to pick up this plate it's called the Travel Plate sku 47280.

The other plate is the Mandala Stamping Plate sku 47282.  This one has tiny images of miscellaneous things like butterflies, flowers, masks and dreamcatchers.  It wasn't too difficult to pick up one small image to use.  I ended up double stamping over a hot pink shimmer.  Not my favorite and I found it hard to line up the images (I don't use a clear stamper but should).  So what do you think of this plate?
