Inked backgrounds

I was on vacation last week and it was just wonderful.  But, I have been itching to spend some time at my craft desk, and finally made that happen last night.  I have watched so many videos on stencils and inks.  I decided to play with my stencils and new Tim Holtz mini blending tool and distress inks.  I had picked up a couple stencils awhile ago at Michaels, but hadn't used them yet.  I loved how they turned out.  I did four backgrounds and turned two of them into cards. Here they are.

The cards are very simple, but I didn't want to cover up all that inking I had done.  
Thanks for stopping by,
