Butterflies and vellum

Its the first time I've used this stamp and I got very frustrated as I couldn't get it to stamp perfectly,finally realised the stamp is faulty and has a couple of lines on the edges of the butterflies missing! filled the missing bits in with an embossing pen on the embossed layer. Coloured with perfect pearls for a nice sheen on the butterflies.  The piece down the lefthand side is stamped and embossed on vellum as is the small butterfly in the bottom corner. Found a few challenges to put in on

    Hello Joan
    How annoying to have a faulty stamp, whatever you did to fix it has worked as one would never know, and your card has a wonderful softness, I like the design very much.

    Gorgeous card, you'd never know the stamp is faulty, you've disguised it well. Lovely colours and papers too.

    I saw this on Make It Monday :-)

    Dreamy colors and movement of your card and the stamped velum is a gorgeous touch. Never could tell your stamp wasn't perfect. :)

    Hi Joan, This is a gorgeous card, and beautiful colours. What a shame the stamp is damaged, but at least you were able to rectify.
