Thanks for all the great comments. The clouds are really easy. I use an
index card. The larger one works as you can make a longer bank of clouds and move them around. the index holds up well and can be used over and over. Cut a series of cumulus clouds out of the index. You want a nice range of high and low bumps, but don't go to real extremes as it is hard to position lower rows. Begin at the top of the card. Sponge on the first layer. I always sponge my ink by starting on the index and push off onto the cs. Move to another area of the card row and sponge the second layer. It's really fun.
