Less is More - One layer #1

As I have mentioned in previous posts there are a number of family birthdays coming up and Father's Day so I have been challenged to come up with a number of cards.  Thank goodness for the Blogworld challenges they seem to focus my mind and help me complete my own personal ones!

Here is the result of the LIM - One layer attempt number 1for Father's Day:

Going back to my trusty Tim Holtz stamps, which seem quite man-ly to me.  The  background was distressed inked and then stamped over with more distress inks for the words and the van was done in chalk ink.  I'm still finding my way with how different inks work as the Chalk ink seemed to have resisted the distress over the top.

Enjoy!
