looking for tutorial...
 

Hi folks!!! I want to learn how to create cloudy backgrounds with inks... But didn't find any tutorials :( Got any ideas or links???
Patiently waiting.....Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

Do you mean like a sky with clouds? Or opaque-ish backgrounds?

I was just looking at a tutorial of how to do clouds with ink and torn paper towels. The tutorial link is the last word, CLOUDS, in the photo details of this gorgeous card by patsmethers:

Thanks ladies for your kind responses!!! The links are so informative :)

Here is another tutorial to create a cloudy background.

I love to add clouds to card designs. I just punched out a scalloped circle in a couple of sizes and used them to sponge around. Super simple. But I did take a look at these other beautiful creations to find some different looks to try. All are wonderful! Glad someone asked.

Beate, that tutorial is wonderful! I don't know how I missed it. This is exactly the look I want for some of my cards. Thank you for posting a link to it.

i have followed Bev's tutorial but used cheap shaving brushes from what you in the states call the drugstore. they work fine and i'll upload the results ot my blog tomorrow.

Thanks! for the links.
