Maybe my mojo has left the building?
I think it's a little strange, especially for what I have typically seen for this technique.
The main image was stamped with Black craft ink onto white card stock, then I used the Copper Encore ink and applied it directly to the paper and evened it out with my finger (rubbing it ). It is interesting that this ink alone makes a "pebbled" background. The other Encore inks I have used spread evenly. I like this look...it's interesting.
Did I get enough embellishment???(Somebody stop me!)

NO, your mojo has not left the building. I was delighted to find that you applied color (copper) all over the page except for the place that was to be highlighted. Others didn't have any color except where the highlight was done. So yours is essentially backwards from what the other rubber stamp artists' are doing. Refreshing. The black ribbon with the splash of crystal red color, along with the corners in a solid black really tied the piece together. (Pun intended!) Great job!! CharD
