Clouds

I am finally back in the swing of things regarding making cards for OWH.  Amazing what 3 weeks of not making any can do to someone!  :o)

I went shopping on Doodle Pantry's page for colored digis.  Oh boy did I rack up a nice little bill.  But since I had all these new digis, I needed to play.  I found "Toy Truck Ants" that I thought was adorable.  And since my son is a huge fan of dump trucks, had to get it.  So I put one card together & posted it on FB.  I mentioned that it needed something and got several replies.

(Before)

A couple suggestions were to make clouds on the blue paper.  A tutorial had just been done on the Stars & Stamps page.  So I went over, read the instructions & tried it myself.  And I tried......and I tried......and I tried.  I had tried it with a scalloped circle.  Then I tried it with a free hand template.  I looked at the clock.  DANG!  I had been working on it for over an hour.  My wrist was hurting.  My eyes were tired.  And I was about to throw everything in the trash.  I was using a dauber and I just started goofing around with doing it free hand (no template).  I daubed dark white here......light white there.  And before I knew it......I had clouds!!  Maybe could use more practice.  But I don't care right now.  I'm just happy that I have clouds!
