I love that we're going back to our nautical roots as with the very first THD challenge. I'm certainly all over the nautical and I bet you are too.  This fresh sets of pics was exactly what I needed when I was having a crappy day. I channeled all my frustrations into a snarky card. The look on the dog's face--I swear I'm looking in a mirror sometimes! LOL.

I stamped and masked the NT Woof pup then randomly stamped the water bones in various shades of Distress Ink, some of which I stamped off first to create even more shades. I then colored him up--pretty cute. But you know what's sick cuter? Wondering what just brushed up against your paws--bwahaha! Note I masked part of the shark stamp before I inked it up so the outer lines wouldn't be quite so thick in keeping with the lines of the NT stamp.

I hope you join us at THD and again, good luck!
