Masculine

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Add a Rainbow of Color   Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is: MASCULINE

The Curious Professor 

I began the tag with a layer of tissue paper collage, leaving plenty of open space. 

Next, I added stamping to the tag. 

I whitewashed it with a thin layer of paint to tone down the black. 

Time for some ink smooshing in yellow and orange. I added water drips and lifted to make it more interesting. Then, I dried this layer. 

I randomly did some blue ink smooshing over the yellows. I wanted to keep my colors separate. 

I stamped Curious on a salvaged tag and popped it. 

I stamped the professor, then his top hat (which could have been a bit lower), then just for fun, I added the propellor to the tophat. 

I love all the layers of collage, stamping, and color that pop through. I also distressed the tag edges with ink, and scraped the scissors along the edge  (be careful!)
