Answer 1

One each technique I like to use is rubbing. To create an overall pattern: Find a surface that has a raised pattern such as pegboard or a corrugated cardboard or even metal. Affix the paper to the surface so it won't slip around. Rub the surface with a chalk, pastel, charcoal, graphite or such. The amount of pressure determine the texture and how predominate the color and texture is embossed or de-bossed onto and into the surface of the paper.

Another technique for pastels is to prepare the paper with a thin coat of gesso and then while wet sprinkle sand on the surface. The sand can even be colored and this adds "tooth" to the surface that can hold pigment.

embossing just the paper
or heat embossing with embossing powder looks good
and there is some paint i used once which is for texturing, cant remember what it was called
