How to make Clouds??

[poffstamper]

What's the best way to stamp those cute little clouds onto cardstock? I know you use white craft ink but what templates are people using to get that effect?

Thanks very much!

SU! offers a cloud template. As I have no visual to what you are describing, I'm assuming that's what's being used on the pieces you are viewing.

Any other ideas if I don't have the cloud template??

I have used a thin piece of cardboard, cut it in the cloud effect. Then use a cotton ball pressed in the ink pad and brushed on paper.


I hope this helps.

You can make your own template. Just cut a cloud shape out of cardstock. You may go through a few pieces of cardstock, but the look is very pretty. I guarantee you will buy a template after using this technique. I did.

FairyTale creations has a template that is a combination and does clouds, sunsets, I think fences etc. Its the Chalk Talk stencil. She demo'd it on diy scrapbooking and it looked really cool.

I love the SU cloud template. I've actually never tried it with white craft ink though. I usually use shades of classic blues on white cardstock.

SU!'s template is the best but i don't use it with ink- haven't tried it to tell the truth. I've always used pastels and a cotton ball.

you have to move the template around randomly and lightly dust it gives a more realistic effect is you do it randomly.

Thanks for all the great ideas ladies! My upline is going to borrow her template to me. I'm sure I'll buy one on my next order!!!

I use the fingertip sponge daubers with the white craft ink, and just sponge it on until I like how it looks.
