Easy Marbleized Paper

For Easy Marblized Paper You will need ----

regular bond paper
(copier paper) in white,
3 dye based ink pads in different colors, 
1 pigment ink pad in gold, 
a water bottle that mists - NOT SQUIRTS
heat gun. 

1. Take one of the dye based ink pads and run it lightly over the paper in a circular motion. Leave some white showing. 
2. Then mist it lightly with your water bottle - Don't saturate it!! Spray the water through out the paper, not just in one spot. The dye will bleed somewhat in the areas that you misted it. 
3. Then take your heat gun and dry the paper on the front first, and then the back of it. 
4. Take another ink pad, run it lightly over your paper blending it with the first color, but also leave some white areas. 
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3. 6. With the last dye based ink, repeat steps 1 -3. 
7. Crumple the paper into a ball. 
8. Open it up and run your gold pigment ink pad lightly over the paper. You just want to highlight the high spots on the paper to simulate a vein-look. Colors that worked well were: Sienna, mustard & olive Denim, Cranberry & Stream Eggplant, mustard & cranberry.
