Do you mean like a sky with clouds? Or opaque-ish backgrounds?

I was just looking at a tutorial of how to do clouds with ink and torn paper towels. The tutorial link is the last word, CLOUDS, in the photo details of this gorgeous card by patsmethers:

Flight of Thanks

Edited to add: The tutorial is by shulsart, who has an awesome gallery here on SCS. You can certainly find beautiful inspiration in her gallery: shulhart

I love to add clouds to card designs. I just punched out a scalloped circle in a couple of sizes and used them to sponge around. Super simple. But I did take a look at these other beautiful creations to find some different looks to try. All are wonderful! Glad someone asked.

Beate, that tutorial is wonderful! I don't know how I missed it. This is exactly the look I want for some of my cards. Thank you for posting a link to it.
