Make It Monday with Kim O'Connell

Kim O'Connell here bringing you this week's addition of Make it Monday!  Today I am going to show you how to create clouds behind your images.   

First you need a template for your clouds.  You can hand cut some clouds or use a cloud die cut such as a cloud from the C.C. Designs Cutters Cloud die set.  You will also need a stipple brush and some ink.  I am using A Muse Studio sky ink. 

Now take your cloud die and place it on your panel.  Using your stipple brush, start adding ink.  You might want to to have a scrap piece of paper to brush first so you don't apply the ink too heavily.

Keep moving the cloud template and stippling.

Keep ongoing.  I flip the cloud die around so I get different patterns as I move along adding more clouds.

Now I added my rolling hills to oval panel.

And here's my completed card with the image added!

This is adorable! I need to get a stipple brush now! I always try this technique using a sponge and it always gets too much ink. This looks so much easier to make it more of a softer look. Adorable card too!
