Flowers to fluffy clouds

Hey Roadies! Mandy Kay Starner here to share my epiphany moment with you.

So lets start at the beginning...I already had my photo and basic design in mind. Plus, I had been wanting to put some paint on paper for some time, so I got out my paints and mists(White out and  Orange Spice)and created my background...

While that dried, I inked up my chipboard birds from the Birds and Cages set and my Lisa Lowercase alphas for my title. I snipped some chevron shapes from my Chocolate Plum Vintage Tape Measure trim and layered them up under my photo with a Stitched Linen Heart. Once, I laid it all out, I could see that it was missing something... I stared... and stared... Finally, I decided that I wanted to add some fluffy clouds to my layout. I wanted to mimic the clouds in the photo. But how was I going to do it?... and then BAM! It hit me! The Afternoon Tea Blossoms could be cut up into fluffy clouds! So I cut a couple of them apart into cloud shapes...

I layered them up here and there. And this is how it all turned out...

Here's a close-up...

So there you have it. I hope this inspires you to look at your supplies a little differently.
