Stamptotique Challenge::SD56: Twin Images

This week at the Stampotique Challenge the hostess is Willy.  She would like to see how creative we can get using the same stamp twice in a project.  This is my take on the theme of Twins.
I used a kraft colored paper to stamp my images on.  My "twin" image was Jo Capper Sandon's Mushroom Group.  I stamped the images with Rangers Black Archival ink on the left side and then again on the right, then I colored in the images lightly with Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  I used the following markers:  Shabby Shutters, Bundled Sage, Milled Lavender and Old Paper.  I tested all of the markers first on the kraft paper and actually will use the test paper as a legend in the future.  The pens colors are different based on the color of your paper so just doing the test one time and labeling the colors will save me time in the future.  I put a little dewy sparkle on the mushroom caps with a Gelly Roll pen called Clear Stah.  The phrase is also Jo Capper Sandons work.  I swiped a watered down splash of Gesso across the images, then took a cap and dipped it in Gesso to make a few circles and a border across the bottom of the 5"x7" card.
You should try your hand at this challenge.  Remember to use only Stampotique stamps and follow the theme.  You could win a $30 gift certificate from Stampotique.

I also entered this in the Simon Says challenge "A bit of brown".
