For my card today I went with some old school techniques - I used a brayer (my friend Leslie had reminded me of this technique a few weeks ago so thanks for the inspiration) and I embossed my image.
I started with some glossy card stock and brayered Summer Sun and Pumpkin Pie ink onto the piece, they around the top edge I sponged on Ruby Red ink. Once it had dried I stamped my image Shady Leaves with versmark ink then used some copper embossing powder. As you can see there are a few spot where the embossing powder & ink didn't stick, but I liked the effect so went with it. The strip of ds paper is from my friend Jeannie who lent me her WeR memory keepers 6x6 pad called Autumn Splendor

Now that's what I'm talking about - I have a ton of embossing powders that haven't seen the light of day in years. What's old can be new again! And BTW, I love that it didn't fully stick everywhere, life is full of imperfections isn't it?
Oooh, I do LOVE the brayered look! Lovely my friend!
This is SO pretty Dana! LOVE the brayered panel and the copper embossing!!
Gorgeous! LOVE the copper, Dana!
Dana - Awesome card! I love embossed images, never thought to do that with this stamp! A perfect fall card!
I haven't embossed in well over a year and believe it or not I have every colour. This card is beautiful Dana, makes me want to get my embossing powders out. Perfect Fall colours.
