(As always, knowing the Teapot story helps make all that follows make more sense: MMTPT107 ~ GULLIBLE GILL JUMPED UP THE HILL AND THE BOYS SWAM PANICKING AFTER! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers)
Today the Teapotters are trying to save Gill, the gullible fish who got caught and is trapped in a basket, waiting to be served up with chips.
This is Beau, the brave rainbow trout. Since rainbow trout are a prize catch, Beau will act as a diversion, attracting the anglers' attention while the rest of the rescue party gets Gill out of the basket. Luckily, Beau is a fast swimmer, and not gullible.
(Beau here is actually a predecorated wooden fish who just worked perfectly for this challenge. The card is based on this week's Card Positioning Sketch, and it feels like it needs something else -- maybe twine across the top?)

Hey Beau......wassup? Guido here! Thanks for swimming over dude...now listen up.....here's the deal.......you swim just past the boat, sorta flash em little color near the side of the boat up at the surface and just when he scoops down with the net, jump straight up, pop em one in the left nostril, get back in the water and swim baby swim! That fisherman, yeah, the one in the red and black flannel shirt has such a big schnauzze you can't miss it and he can't stand in a boat worth beans! In the drink he goes and it will take em at least 42,000 hours to haul is big ole belly outa the lake!
Got it? Okay, go!!!!!!
Whoot! What a plan, What a card! What a way to save a fish! Beau, youda man!!! Whoo! and Sandy, you are quite the card maker and story teller! I don't know, maybe some red and black flannel for the top of your card? NOT! Its all wet anyway! Love this!!!! It rocks!
