"twister" card

I love a good summer thunderstorm!  But I didn't want these tornadoes to wreck anything.  :)


Supplies:
For the background, I used the daisy and distressed stripes Cuttlebug embossing folders after cutting cardstock into hilly shapes (I sent them back through the machine to flatten them out after embossing, so that there would be just a hint of texture).  I inked the clouds with blues and grey using the cloud template from Crafter's Workshop -- those stencils work great if you like to take your colored ink pads directly to the paper.  I popped up the tornadoes and two extra clouds I had made (when I was practicing with the stencil!) with foam dots.  I also added "grass/dust" by dabbing under the twisters with a green ink pad.

Stamps:
tornadoes, swirls, sentiment -- Paper Smooches/
