What a fantastic challenge we had last time. A huge thank you to everybody who played along. Not to drop the standards any just look who we have this time around..... The fantastic Rick St Denis with a once in a lifetime prize of the three dragons used in this challenge plus a surprise digi pack to go with it, AND the dragon images will be a one of a kind as they will not go in store EVER
Before I introduce Rick I have to say a sad goodbye to one of my DT, Marlene of Disguised As A Grown Up is leaving us to move on to pastures new. This is her last project here at Stamping with the Dragon. I just want to say to Marlene thank you so much for all the hard work you have done for me in your time here. It has been a real pleasure working with you and I wish you all the best in everything you decide to do :)
Okkkk on with the challenge :)

The challenge was truly amazing, and all the participants did such an incredible job! As a huge fan of drawing, I can really appreciate the level of talent and hard work that goes into creating art of this caliber. I believe art and hobbies bring a kind of satisfaction and peace that nothing else can match. As a student, I used to skip my degree classes to join the art club and focus on my passion. Sometimes, I even had to hire online economics class takers to help me keep up with my classes while I pursued my love for art.
