Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I taught this wax paper resist background technique at a stamp camp a few years ago. You will need:
Two pieces of 1/4 sheet glossy cardstock
Waxed paper cut or torn about 1/2" larger than glossy cardstock
Two pieces of printer paper or multipurpose paper
Iron
You'll make a sandwich like this:
On your ironing board, lay one piece printer paper
On top of that lay one piece glossy cardstock, glossy side UP
Crumple waxed paper, then smooth it out and layer on top of glossy CS
Put your remaining glossy CS on top of this, glossy side DOWN
Then put remaining printer paper on top of your sandwich
Then, using your iron set on a dry setting, such as cotton, iron over your sandwich for about 15 seconds. When you peel apart the sandwich you'll have two pieces of glossy cardstock with waxed paper "wrinkles" on them. Brayer over this using a Spectrum pad or plain Classic pad, and you'll get a wonderfully patterned background!
I couldn't find my directions for this, so am going by memory, but maybe someone else will have more detailed instructions. Hope this helps!
