Ever had one of those days when EVERYTHING goes wrong???? I’ve had one today and this is what I salvaged…
This was originally a full sized card but it ended up being an ATC – duh! I was using glossy card and no matter which ink I used, the stamp wouldn’t stamp clearly, so I gave up and used watercolour paper. It’s a bit better but still not perfect. I must look into which inks are best to use on clear stamps. I’m NOT a big fan of them but sometimes the images are too gorgeous to resist.
I obviously didn't read the Challenge blog post properly before I did this or I'd have realised that 'Make a Wish' referred to something I wish for - not just to 'Make a Wish'. I'll have another go cos I know that I wish for right now... my first card would have illustrated that, too - duh!

Love it. It looks rgeat, great colours. I use Brilliance Black when I use clear stamps, that one works best for me.
They say angels come in all sizes...your angel is beautiful and you should be pleased it turned out well for you in the end. I think it is beautiful. Hugs Gayle.
Gorgeous colour, archival black works for me on clear stamps
Never mind, the mis-haps all worked out well in the end xxx
looks good to me... we are always our harshest critic! xxx
It's gorgeous - when I have had a stamp that hasn't quite stamped perfectly, I have cheated and coloured it in black.
Not to worry it has turned out...gorgeous!!!!

Gorgeous! Love the colours and the highlighted touches, worked out great in the end!
I think it turned out well love the colours :)
I think it's beautiful, Cath! I tend to use versafine on glossy card with clear stamps. It takes an age to dry but gives better coverage. Like Lottie, I keep a fine tipped sharpie to touch up where there are any missing bits.
gorgeous Cath.
I think we all have those kinds of days but you've still created something that's really beautiful. I love the colours.
I have the same trouble stamping siloutte designs with clear stamps, the black never seems to stamp properly. I end up coulouring it in with a black sharpie to get the depth of balck I want!
