Start a new document any size you want.

Duplicate the cloud layer (Press CTRL+J). Then go to Filter->Stylize->Extrude:
|
 |
Reduce to Opacity of the original cloud layer to 70%, and the extrude layer to 50%
Now select the extruded cloud layer and apply a gaussian blur with 5.0 px setting. (Filter->Blur-Gaussian Blur)

Now I will show you how to use it in an image.
I got this image below which I removed the sky in the background.
|
Now this image, I create the clouds and put it behind the mountain, but it looks rather fake because its too flat.

|
Now we need to distort the clouds a little, so link the extruded clouds layer and the original clouds layer together

Then go to Image->Transform->Skew.
and drag the top left and right handle up and outward.

|
This now give us a more realistic sky.
