Cloud tutorial

CLOUD TUTORIAL

I made this tutorial for Home of Speedy TV where you can find this one along with several others from Design Team members.

I posted these two cards earlier today and left a link to my tutorial on Speedy TV but decided I would post my tutorial on my blog, also. For details on the cards, see post below this one.

 Making clouds is really simple. I am showing a few ways

to accomplish it.

Cardstock

Punch/punches

Ink

Dauber or sponge

Scissors if cutting out template

I have shown a few punches you could use to make clouds. I only used one of them and for the other I used a die cut template. I believe this is a PTI die. You can make your own template by stamping, punching, or hand drawing a cloud.

 I placed the template on my white cardstock and used the dauber to sponge around just the edges where there are scallops. You can see the clouds forming where I sponged at the top of the cardstock. I usually only sponge around about half the template.

Here is a card using the above method


For my next card, I punched out a cloud template using a Fiskars cloud punch.
I used blue cardstock and placed my punched piece on the cardstock and

sponged white ink inside. Very simple!

My card for this method:

Another way to create clouds is to make cloud masks and place over your white cardstock.  Be sure to tape your clouds to your cardstock so they don’t move around. I’m using a double sided scrapbook tape which can be removed when finished. Sponge or brayer  the entire piece of cardstock with blue ink or whichever color you prefer.You can use gray for a cloudy day or I’ve seen very pretty clouds in brown for a little whimsy .Remove your masks and you have some beautiful, white clouds. For my example below, I used Memento London Fog ink:

Hope my tutorial will be helpful and you'll have beautiful skies ahead.
