The first thing to do is to get a book you are willing to sacrifice and tear out a page. Dilute a little acrylic paint and brush over the entire page. Make sure it is diluted enought that you can still see the text show through.....

Next dilute a little bit of robin egg blue acrylic paint and dip the bottom of the paint bottle in it and stamp circles randomly over the paper.......
After the blue circles have dried, I took a bronze colored ink pad and dabbed it all over the paper here and there.......
I looked throught my stamp collection and found swirls and I flower that I liked and stamped with black ink over everything.....
Next, I took the tip of the brush and dipped it into crocus yellow paint and made dots all over...
The last thing I did was to take sequin waste and use to it stencil dots with brown ink.
So now I have a piece of background paper to use for a few ATCs!
