Hi @Former-Member .... 👋 ... and anyone else following along ....

Here is what I have done today ..... 

I chose 3 acrylic paint colours, added white to them individually, and watered them down a bit so that the text would show through.

Then I painted stripes down the page in a repeated pattern, and dried it with a hair dryer.  Then I painted more stripes across the page to create a tartan sort of design, and dried it off again with the hair dryer.

Then I painted PVA glue all over the (dry) surface to create a seal, and dried it off again.  That way it has made a surface that you can work on without the materials soaking in and spreading.  It has also created a bit of a rough, crackled effect, like bark in a tree.
