This long, tall card is for the August 2017 Fan Club monthly theme, "Great Lengths".
All Fan Club members can play along with the Dirty Dozen's gallery themes every month! There are several challenges for the theme, you can check them out HERE.
This card started out life as a small 3"x 2.5" stamp by Technique Tuesday and made longer by ruling lines and doodling geometric patterns with a micron pen.
Fellow Splitcoastie, Tonda Baldwin introduced my to this stamp company and inspired me to think outside the box when using relatively small stamps. Look what Miss Tonda did with this pair of killer heels HERE.
I hope you have some crafty time to get inky with the Dirty Dozen.
Edit: In real life this is crisp white and the black ink and pen work is super black. No matter how many times I photograph this, it looks a bit faded.

Sweet Susie, this is MONUMENTAL!! The giraffe stamp is so unique and interesting and you magnified it to extraordinary heights!! (Getting a bit pun-y;). It is the weekend! Hehe.
All punning aside, your creativity is endless, and absolutely enjoy all your artwork! Bravo my friend!!

PS, I don't think ANYONE could EVER accuse you of NOT thinking outside the box!! No one thinks outside the box quite like you my sistah!
Beautifully artsy and clever sweet friend!

It's odd to see a card from you with no colour ( though the Christmas deer still on my piano is a limited palette). How dramatic and totally stunning. It has a super ethnic, tribal feel with your great doodling.
