Stencil-bumping backgrounds

We learnt how to do Stencil-bumping at card club last week.
These are my four examples.

We distressed ink the backgrounds, leaving the centre part lighter.  And then we used a darker ink through a stencil the from the centre and lightening towards the edges.
The stencil was then moved a fraction, and white acrylic paint was stencilled randomly.

Book title inspiration
