Sunday Stamping: 4th of July

Happy Sunday everyone! Today is another Sunday Stamping challenge in Adventures in Stamping and the theme today is Independence Day/Canada Day. I always get excited for the 4th of July because it means going on a weekend getaway with my closest friends. Every year we go out of town for a few days just to spend time together, catch up and recharge. Working on this manicure reminded me of the quickly approaching trip and my building excitement...


I wanted to create a slightly faded flag manicure so I started with an off white base of OPI My Vampire is Buff. For the stamping I had a difficult time picking out which plates I wanted to use (as there are lots of fun stars & stripes themed images), but I finally decided on Winstonia plate W107 because I just love the stars image. I stamped the stars with OPI I Saw... U Saw.. We Saw... Warsaw and the stripes using OPI The Color of Minnie.


The star shaped stud from the Born Pretty Store was the perfect size to fit into the stamped pattern and created a fun accent to the manicure...




Thanks for looking!
Anutka :)

  4. I love your mani! I have that Winstonia plate, I may try this too. I was just looking for a cute mani to celebrate July 4th. How cute is it that your star stud fit perfectly? I like the vintage faded look you gave this.
