Seeing Double at "Less is More"

It's a One Layer Card week at "Less is More" and from somewhere or other Mandi and I dreamed up the subject Seeing Double. Sometimes thinking of the themes is a lot easier than actually carrying them out. I had lots of ideas for my samples this week before realising that some of them weren't actually One Layer!
This is the first card I made with my lovely, small pear stamp. The method I used is on the challenge blog.

This one uses the medium sized pear, it's really quite fun to colour the stamp before making the impression. As I mentioned on "Less is More", these stamps are absolutely flat with no texture whatever etched into them, so any interest comes from the inking.

This one, although not for the challenge at "Less is More", was my first attempt at adding dimension to the stamp, merely by inking.
I am submitting this one to Sir Stampalot's Monthly Challenge   'In the frame' as this is where I bought these fabulous pear stamps. I've made quite a mess of the wooden blocks when trying to get the darker colour around the edge of the image with my ink pads. That doesn't worry me overly however, as I'm not that fastidious.

The last one is merely a double stamping without re-inking in between, to give the impression of a shadow.
Thank you to all those people who visited and tried to leave comments for me last week when either my blog or Blogger were being unco-operative and not allowing comments from some people to be left. Thanks for trying!
Have a lovely weekend, my husband and I will be singing in a 'Prom' type concert is a nearby village tonight. They are raising money for a Macmillan Hospice, a most worthy cause. I'd better go and take another look at the music.
