Lately I have been trying different techniques to create backgrounds.  I watched a video by Jennifer Mcguire that I found on Pinterest.  The background is created with a stencil and white pigment ink, dried and then shifted to create a shadow or accent.  The stencil is inked again with a dye ink.  I added a word circle, looped twine and either some sequins or a tiny heart.  Pretty clever. I might need to buy some larger stencils to keep experimenting.
