Professor Loo from The East Wind


This is for all my friends who teach.  Admirable job.  Couldn't do it myself.  So this latest make from the new release from The East Wind, Lucy Loo 'Professor Loo' is dedicated to you.  I used the png transparent background again to  merge her with the blackboard (retired from Tiddly Inks) then fussy cut around her skirt to add it to the background that was embossed at the bottom with the Tim Holtz Bricked folder.

Here she is!  I've been practicing my coloring and had so much fun with brown hair (for a change) and the folds of her top.  The East Wind artist Unky has done her first video on coloring hazel eyes (watch it HERE) and I even tried that, although it's hard to see on such a small scale, and added Glossy Accents to her glasses and lips.


AND, because I so wanted to enter the current Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers "B" is for Brads or Buttons Challenge,  I risked my HOURS of coloring to punch a hole in Lucy's badge and add my VERY LAST little skully brad to her jacket and a couple more to the corner of the card.  See ladies, ya know I luv ya!  (I'll take the one on the left.)


Even think my computer generated sentiment has just the right amount of snark.  Do kids actually speak to each other any more?  Or hand write ANYTHING?  Don't get me started on this.  As if teaching kids isn't hard enough...shudder!

You can see more fabulous makes with 'Professor Loo' on THE East Wind FB Group page where you'll see new releases every Monday and Friday.  Stay tuned for the winners of our FB Contest and the new one starting soon.  And don't forget our "It's Getting Hot" Challenge (open to interpretation,  LOL) on the East Wind Challenge Blog running through July 25th.  Hope to see you soon.

I'm also entering this in the Fan-tastic Tuesday #44 (must be square or rectangular) ATG Challenge, Bearly Mine Let's Go Digital, Crafting by Designs Use a Sentiment, Digi Galore ATG and Paper Pretties Red, Black and White.
