Start by reverse bleeding the clutch, as you may have introduced air. Several posts on this board describe how. Reverse bleeding from a nipple on top of the slave confirms air has been purged and is also a good maintenance item, especially if you've refreshed brake fluid. Reverse bleeding is essentially the only way to refresh the fluid in the clutch system. There is a separate, dedicated chamber in the brake fluid reservoir for the clutch system...reverse bleeding purges air and pushes clean fluid into that chamber, overflowing old fluid into the brake fluid side, which you'll extract. This should rule out having air in the clutch hydraulics.
Some of those clutch bleeding posts will include info about wedging a board or something under/against the clutch pedal to keep it in the half-engaged position and letting it sit overnight to bleed air out. I personally have never needed to do that though but those who have were amazed that it worked.
If you still have an issue, then consider the MC and slave. If the clutch wasn't giving you problems before your brake work, it sure seems like air is the culprit.
