Less is More - Overstamping

I'm taking the day off tennis...a little too much in the last several weeks.  I need to rest these old bones :)

We have another challenge starting today over at Less is More.  Our theme for this week is Overstamping.  Lots of opportunity here...you can use layer stamps or just stamp over other stamped images.  I don't own any layer stamps so I took another route.  Here's my take on the challenge...






This was a quick and easy card.  I simply stamped my main images with Pigment Ink, then stamped the sentiment in black pigment ink.  Super simple!



Here's a close up of the image.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

    As your card says : Beautiful ! Why go for complicated techniques when the simplest are finally the most beautiful! Your combination of colours are just fabulous and the font of this sentiment is so beautiful ! Very simple and natural like the whole spirit of the card ! I love it ! Have a restful weekend and have a fabulous week !
