The second card my ladies made last week was using a scrunched up paper technique. You just screw up some printer paper really tight then open it up (but don't smooth it out too much). Get one colour ink pad and smooth over the paper. You will find that it only catches on the raised up bits. Turn the paper 45degrees and smooth over with a contrasting colour. Here we used pink and purple. This one should catch different raised up bits. Just keep going until you have the desired effect. Use this for any background as a change.
