Yeah..many different types of ink: dye ink, chalk ink, distress ink, alcohol ink...
I haven't started using the alcohol ink yet, but I believe they will make very "cool" background.
There is a video tutorial about alcohol ink:

Just got home and have a chance to try out my new purchase (foam pad for the distress ink).
果然零舍不同！
<工欲善其事，必先利其器>呢句說話真係啱嘅！
Will try making some cards this weekend.

Your layout is very nice! The way you integrate different shapes, embossing images on the card is just great.
However, to me, the colouring of the stamp image seems a little bit on the light side. It makes the subject image doesn't "stand" out as much. e.g. In 3rd picture top right card the polar bear is in gray and the scallop circle is in blue so the polar bear "blends in" and hard to see.  I think in general try to colour your image harder so the colour is more intense. In that case will bring out your subject more.  

Just my 0.00002 cents, I hope you don't mind...

Thta's wut I was thinking!!!
I thot the colour kind of blended in so I tried to colour it harder..
But I guess it's still not hard enuff or I just hv to try another colour~

Omgosh!! I hate this!!
Michaels always give 40% off coupons, but u can onli use once a day..
So I have something to buy and I have to go every single day!!!
I know they want to encourage u to go every single day and might buy sth else..
But I go there everyday to buy just 1 item...=_="

Has anybody try using it then going back in and use another one???
Everytime I buy stuff I get a coupon..then I have to go again the next day to buy another item...sigh..so annoying..
