Ok. So! I'm a recent convert to Konad Nail Stamps thanks to Miss80Million here on your very own cutout+keep. On one of the threads I noticed someone asked if you could use your own etching plate to print from. Now this is a wonderful idea! If only, eh? Well I eventually found my old plates (hidden in a box) and tried it out. And HOT DAMN my friends, it frikkin WORKS! It works BEAUTIFULLY! The following photos don't show it off well enough, because I just did a very quick job of it to test it, but when I do this properly I'll post a version with my new shiny pics :D Dewds I totally want to see if any of you do it too! This is SO AWESOME! ><!!!!!!!!! *ahem* *commencement of 'how-to'.....now*

getchore stuff. I'm assuming you already have a Konad stamper and scraper. If not, WHY not?? Quick Paint sketch since I don't wanna haveta credit someone off the internet!
Get your etching plate with your very own artwork
Apply nail varnish to the image you wish to stamp and scrape off.
Quickly roll the stamper over the image plate and apply to your nail. This picture REFUSED to come out well but this was my favourite nail :)
continue with different plates...
...
and BASK in the results! The left nail is from the feather plate on step 5, and the middle nail from the one above :) After this, of course you'd take away the excess that printed onto your skin with some nail varnish remover, and do a clear top coat to stop all your lovely hard work chipping away. Clean all your equipment (Konad kit and etching plates) with nail varnish remover.
