Guess what? There's a new challenge starting today at Star Stampz and it's the first one of 2025. Boy, I'm not used to typing 2025 yet. I had to go back and correct it from typing 2024. :-D Our theme is always Anything Goes with an optional theme. This time, the option is "Inspired by a Song."
I took that to heart and went searching for a Star Stampz image that had a dragon because "Puff, the Magic Dragon" was running through my head. The image is The Dragon and the Knight. I colored it with my Ohuhu markers, then cut it with a Tonic Studios die, and cut the corners with a Uchida punch.
I did the same things to a piece of DCWV dp and used it for the frame around he image. The background was made with another piece of dp from that same DCWV stack. I know I tend to use DCWV papers more than any others and part of that is because they are a favorite of mine but also because I own more DCWV stacks than any other brand. That may have happened because when I first started paper crafting, the craft store where I made my purchases back in those days carried mostly DCWV, I've used other brands over the years but I still tend to go back to DCWV. (and I have a HUGE stash of it which I'll never use up, even if I live to be 100!)
I added a wrap of purple Really Reasonable Ribbon and tied a bow with it also.

Great card and song inspiration. I was said to read that Peter Yarrow has just passed away - this is a lovely tribute to him.
Great to have you on the Star Stampz Challenge Team.

Puff the Magic Dragon was one of my favourites as a child and brings happy tears to my eyes when I hear it now - memories of my sister and I singing along in a much simpler time.
Thank you so much for entering our challenge this week at CRAFT Challenge, looking forward to see you again next challenge.
