Bubble Texturing:
In a shallow bowl or cup, mix calligraphy ink, acrylic paint or dye based ink with water. Add a small amount of dish soap. Blow into the mixture with a straw to create bubbles. Catch the bubbles on your card paper. For best results, use matte or index paper.

"Marble" Texturing:
In a shallow pan, add acrylic paint to water. The paint will float on top. Swirl it to form patterns, adding more colors if desired. Take a greeting card and drop it flat onto the water. When you lift the paper out of the pan, the paint will have adhered to it. Lay flat to dry.

Double Stick Tape:
Use double stick tape as a border on your card. Sprinkle with embossing powder and heat emboss. Use one color of powder or several colors for a rainbow border. Try covering the tape with tiny beads. For a unique multi-color look, put confetti on the tape. Apply embossing powder to the remaining exposed tape. Remove the confetti, and then apply a contrasting color of powder.

Colored Deckle Edge:
Decide where the torn edge will be. Score this line. Add any color pigment ink to a small amount of water on a piece of scratch paper. Using a brush or an eyedropper, apply a thin line of colored water to your scored line. Allow a short time for the fibers of the paper to absorb the water. Pull paper apart.
