Adding a Cloud EffectA simple easy Cloud Effect.  Custom Search 
Adding a cloud effect background to your cards is a lovely technique that is very easy to do. It makes your image seem to be outdoors and can work in lots of different ways. Here's what you do ...
They don't have to be anything fancy just some random circles across the paper. Make them different sizes ... mix small circles with large ones and then carefully cut around the outline ...
... and this is what you will have.This is the template that you will use to create the clouds on your paper.
I have used distressing inks as they blend beautifully on the paper. You can use sponges, Cut'n Dry, or why not make some of your own
blending tools.
This is what you will have when you move the template.Once you have done this layer move the template down and ink the next layer on to your paper.
This will mix the large and small clouds randomly on your background.
Continue this process down the paper until you have a whole host of clouds.
You can then either add your cloud effect topper to the card...
... or you can cut out an image and decoupage it over the top of them.This mouse is sitting under a summer sky eating his apple. But whichever way you choose to use them it makes a really neat background for some of your cards.

On a piece of copier paper draw out some cloud shapes. Use the top area and the other part will protect your card as you work.
Lay the template onto your chosen paper and carefully ink over the clouds edges.
Move the template so that you are using another area.
