Many of the sample cards on my website use this technique of Double-Inking.
The most important thing to remember is to always start with the lightest color ink first, to protect your ink pads.
This technique will give a "mottled" impression, for trees it looks like shadows, on other stamps it can look like an aging barn, a mottled horse, or just texture. Try it and be pleasantly surprised at the outcome. (See samples below)


The "texture" you see on the Trees (N55) above is from the texture of the felt of the ink pad... it adds quite a nice touch.


The stamps used above: Sky Tool (D493), hill (N10), shade tree (H191), barn (D554). tall tree (N105), cowboy (D607), saddled horse (D609), drinking horse (D608), grass (J174), brambles on side (N22)

The horses, stagecoach,cowboys, barn and tree trunk all were done using this technique.
Stamps used: Sky Tool (D493), mountains (P15), rider (J374), other background horses (J364 and J338), stagecoach (P27)
