inked backgrounds

So . . . after attempting to "sponge" an ink background (that didn't blend well - don't know if it was my paper, the ink, or sponge, but I wasn't happy with the results AT ALL) I used ink and some water on my stamp-a-ma-jig plastic sheet and I REALLY like the effect . . . here's the completed project for Papertrey Ink's challenge this week:
