I started with white scraps from my cardmaking and crafting and created white pulp by shredding, soaking and then blending the paper. I used paper napkins for colour. They don't need to be soaked because they absorb water instantly. I thoroughly blended navy blue and burgundy paper napkins and added that to the two different batches. I added hand cut paper snippets to the blue batch - pink, purple, several different blues and some silver. I added flower petals, grass and herbal tea to the pink batch. Above you can see the sheets I made up when I got home with the remaining pulp. I will be teaching this same group a techniques class next week. Looking forward to making different pulps for that class.
If you are a paper crafter I would highly recommend learning to make paper. You will be able to use all your scraps to make paper you can use in your crafting!! It is fun and environmentally friendly!! If you have any questions about the process just ask!!
