You know I love announcing new plates when they release, and of course I always try to stay on top of when the brands I love are coming out with something new. So today is like a double hit of pleasure for me! You may recall my love affair with the Brazilian based brand Loja BBF and the subsequent review I wrote for her plates (read here and here). Well she has released 5 more plates that are hot off the presses and ready for our greedy little eyes to gaze upon and that I'm going to share with you today.
As you can see there is going to be a little something for everyone in these next five plates. Heavy on lace and detailing once again that places Cris's designs in a very unique category. What I love is how lace is making some kind of crazy launch on the nail art scene these days. Everyone is getting into it and I couldn't be more thrilled. Of course if you know your plates then you'll realize Cris already had some lace designs in the prior 20 plates so this is more of an expansion on a great theme.
The detailing on this plate is exquisite. I mean truly of this world. For an advanced stamper like myself I see some many possibilities written into the use of these plates. Ugh I almost can't stand it!
Pirate themes, chevrons, ankhs and skulls. Plus let me take a moment and say are those mountains? You know I'm thrilled to see them especially for all the nail art I do involving Elevation Polish. Yes! Love this plate. Scope the dream catcher which is gaining popularity these days and the butterfly begging to be done in leadlight technique ;)
Ending on a high note! Everything about this plate is win. The abstracts, the topographical map the anchors. I love it! Ugh I need this one badly!
What do you you ladies think? I see several plates that must be mine as in all of them lol. How about you any favorites? I'm so enamored with this brand. You can purchase Loja BBF plates and let's not forget the stellar polishes via email at lojabbf@gmail.com. Cris ships internationally. Plates retail for $7 USD + $10 for shipping. Stay tuned for the second review of my replacement plates for this brand as well as the last 2 plates of the original 20 later this week. Happy stamping dolls! Thanks for reading and see you next post...
Those mountains are from the cover of Joy Divisions "Unknown Pleasures" album.

Oh awesome! Thanks for the extra info :)
DeleteI suspect that someone at Loja BBF is a not so secret gothic-new waver person judging from the Smiths, Joy Diviision and Bauhaus on the plates. I just wish she'd make a whole plate around this theme because I have an aversion to buying plates just for a single image.
DeleteLol I have an aversion to incomplete collections of plates. I can kind of understand though with all the skulls on the plate it can be a lot, but it might be totally worth it even if you are going for the one image alone :)
