Those are really pretty Penny, I like the lighter ones the best.

Here is what I have been experimenting with this morning (most definitely a work in progress!) I am trying to capture the look of steam floating up and forming letters. I am using the shapebuilder and eraser tools for this, but I think my technique needs more refining and I think a background with less gray in it might make the steam look better.
