And kinda Triple Stamp Technique.
Sponged all three layers in Peach Bellini. 
 The the bottom Layer I sponged Tomato Soup & Lemon Drop inks.
 Then I used repositionable tape to hold the layers together &
 stamped the images. Pulled it apart & colored the dragonfly.
 Added a piece of Black Onyx behind each layer. 
 Popped up the two top layers & attached it all to a Peach Bellini Card Base!

Love everyone of them.....The background papers on the first two are ideal; the 3rd one is vibrant and cheery; and the fourth one is beautiful (they're all beautiful!). I didn't recognize it as a triple-stamp technique, so am glad I had time to read how you created it. Gorgeous sunset/sunrise backgroind. TFS
