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.
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
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.
