This technique is so easy to do and can turn out beautifully. Try it with different types of paper.

Ingredients

F&W Acrylic Artists' Ink or thinned acrylics or watercolors
sketch paper

Process:

1. Take your paper and scrunch it up into a tight ball.

2. Hold it under runing water until it's fairly wet. Squeeze it gently.

3. Slowly and carefully open the paper up.

4. Take a soft brush and make a wash of color across the page. I used purple and blue. The creases will soak up some of the ink and change color.

4. Let dry.

5. You can use a warm iron to gently flatten the papers if you like.
