Pink flowers and butterflies

Here is another attempt at the Velveteen Stamping technique. I still don’t think I have quite perfected it yet and I hope to try again, but I still like the overall look of this card.  

My white pigment ink is quite old, so I am not quite sure if that is why it looks more of a cream colour and I also forgot to blot it once I had stamped the image (I assume this is to help the white image show through better).  

I stamped the background in white ink with the branch background stamp. Once this was dry, I stamped the flowers in pink.  I framed this with the hot pink card and then attached this card which I had sponged the edges of my white card with pink. 

I cut the tag, left the die in and inked the middle of it.  I then removed the die and stamped the Happy Birthday image in black and added it to the card with the ribbon.  I added some butterflies and kindy glitz.  My butterflies seem to be my favourite embellishment at the moment.  I punched the butterflies from the hot pink card that I had dry embossed with the Divine swirl folder.  I added some pearls to the butterflies which I felt just finished them off.
