This is still not the card I really want to make for Dina's Start Spreading the News challenge, but I think it's good to throw a few masculine cards into the mix, and I always love a chance to ink up Snoopy. Just realised after taking the photo that I meant to trim so the jetty was flush with the edge of the card. Oops...
5 3/4" square. Papers are October Afternoon and and old K&Co pad. Snoopy stamped on watercolour paper with Versafine Black and masked. I stamped in the trees and then sponged the background and foreground. Fish is from WhipperSnapper, and I know the perspective is totally wrong, but a catch is a catch. Snoopy and Woodstock coloured with distress inks. After a lot of messing around with the layout I ended up using some old photo turns.

I think its cool and rather then trim it... what if you took a very fine line black pen and just drew a line on that side of the dock?
It would look like it started in the trees instead of the edge like an L shaped dock maybe. ( a perspective thing I guess)
