Years ago I attempted this technique and had dismal results. What I didn't know was that you have to scrape the foam off the paper after it has contacted the ink or paint.
So, you squirt some cheap foaming shaving creme on a flat waterproof surface, sprinkle ink dots over it, swirl with a pencil, and press your paper down to make complete contact. Smooshing and moving the paper around gives different results.
Lift off the paper, scrape off the foam with a straight-edge plastic ruler or squeegee, dry with a paper towel if needed. Done. Yesterday I tried it using rubber stamp inks. It was a messy blast! Here are some of the results before I decorate them:
