Bleeding Tissue Paper Technique:

Lay your white glossy cardstock face up and spray with water.

Randomly tear tissue paper in the colors you want and place on wet cardstock.

 Place another sheet of white glossy cardstock face down on top of the tissue (this way you can make two sheets of background paper at one time).

Lay a phonebook or other heavy object on top of these sheets and let sit so the wet paper won't curl.

When dry, peel off the tissue and reveal your beautiful background that you can use to stamp on, emboss on, use for layering or whatever you'd like.
