INSTRUCTIONS:
This is sooo easy, you're not going to believe it!! I learned this technique from a member in my local stamping club.
This works best with 3 colors of ink, but 2 would work well too. I always get a different result each time I do this technique, so don't expect consistentency.
1. Take your computer paper and cut into 1/4 sheets so it's manageable.
2. Pick one of your dye based ink pad and gently rub it across the paper just like a direct-to-paper technique and allow some of the white to show through.
3. Take your water bottle and spritz your paper thoroughly just don't SOAK it.
4. Use your heat gun to dry the front of your paper and then flip it over and dry off the back.
5. Take a second dye base ink pad in a different color and complete steps #2, 3 and 4.
6. Take your last ink pad and complete steps #2, 3 and 4 again. NOW FOR THE FUN PART!!
7. Take your paper and crumble it up into a ball. Gently open it up, and flatten lightly, you want SOME ridges to show.
8. With your gold metallic ink pad, gently swoosh it over the high spots on your paper to give it a veined look. WHAA-LA!! You're Done!!

Have Fun! Laura (The Gweede)
