I have a wizard and cuttlebug embossing folders.
When I watercolor I clean my brush off on a cheap pad of paper that I got at the dollar store. This paper gets many different colors of ink on it. I have been storing these, because, truthfully some of them weren't very pretty. I just ran them through my wizard with the mosaic embossing folder. Wow, did they turn out gorgeous. Now, I know I will use them( or give them to my friend who had a stroke and still sends lots of cards as part of her church ministry).
Smart thinking, Larue. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the picture is knitted baby blanket. The colors are like varigated (?) yarn and the texture has that knitted look.

Exactly!! Stampers see the artistic value and possibilities in everything!!

I wonder if a non-creative person (namely me) could re-create your design with a stipple brush and a bunch of coordinating stamp pads. Or with a watercolor brush and stamp pads. Just a wild thought.

I was thinking the same thing! What beautiful background paper!

What I have done is wet the background paper then ink up a stamp with a dye base inkpad and swish the stamp across the wet paper. The colors will blend together.

I haven't played with my cuttlebug much. But I'm thinking that maybe I can whip out a bunch of embossed backgrounds while I watch TV. If I color them using your method before embossing - then I will have some super neat background in supply for those "needed yesterday cards".

Wow--that is what I call recycling! The papers turned out gorgeous! I have got to get myself a Cuttlebug.
WHAT SHE SAID! I want one too!
