Challenge: Adventures in Stamping Sundays

Chinese Jade

I'm back with an Adventures in Stamping Challenge!
This is a weekly Sunday challenge, but sometimes I don't get a chance to do them for one reason or another.
But hey, let's not get caught up in all THAT, cuz this week I did it!
So the challenge was something along the lines of just make sure you use 2 different stamps.
So I used like...6.

I went with a 'Chinese Jade' theme. The base is Essence Viva La Green - I stamped over that with a grass design in China Glaze Passion from the new set of BM plates. Then I stamped over all the fingers with various asian themed plates using Kleancolor Metallic Black.


So here we've got some Lotus' on the pinky, Koi/Carp on the ring and thumb and some Mums and Lotus's on the index and middle!


Some up-close action!


Here's where you can really see the gold sparkle underneath!


Hope you enjoyed!!

      I love your new Blog Header! Can you give us a list of the stamps that you used? I'd love to get the Koi Fish but I'm not sure which plate it is. Thanks!

      Wow Missy this is awesome! I'm so jealous of your Koi fish plates. I have been lemming them since you did that last manicure with them!

      I'm glad to have stumbled upon your blog. I simply adore this mani! I have BM and Mash plates but after spending a bit of time with the 'googles' (I despise George W. but still find that amusing. Sorry!), I got nothin'. PLEASE! I beg you! Have pity on my caffeine and sleep deprived as* and tell me what company makes and/or where to purchase plate A48. It would be greatly appreciated as I love koi ponds more than a woman should likely admit. ;)

        Welcome to my blog!!! I'm so glad to have you!
        Let me tell you, dont be ashamed to love Koi Ponds!
        With that said, I don't know who makes A48 - its some random fauxnad, but all I did was search ebay for A48 and it came up (you have to dig through health and beauty and then sub categories til you get down to nail business) - at publishing time this link brings up two listings for it:
        http://www.ebay.com/sch/Nail-Art-/45205/i.html?_sac=1&_nkw=a48

        good luck!!

      You. Seriously. Rock.

      Thank you so much for the lead. It's greatly appreciated. :) It's rare that I see something that I absolutely must have but, the koi plate, yeah... It's a gorram necessity! ;)

      Searching eBay in the way you suggested (of course) makes the most sense. lol

      Thanks, again!
