You can a Faux Marbled look with different mediums as well. Try alcohol inks or even adding shaved pastels into your water. Use a tooth pick to swirl.
This reminds me of a technique I have not used in years. With that technique I used shaving cream. This is a softer look and does not leave the smell. Will give it a try soon.

We do have a tutorial for the shaving cream technique as well. But it's always nice to show different variations and slightly different techniques with different products.
