2024 Calendar Card - Year of the Dragon

It's Tuesday so I'm sharing a project created for Topflight Stamps. It's an Anything Goes week, so I decided to make another calendar card. 2024 is the Year of the Dragon, but I don't have an Asian Dragon Stamp so I decided to use the Gentle Dragon Unmounted Rubber Stamp by Crafty Individuals.

But before I get to my project, I wanted to remind you that there's a sale going on right now at Topflight Sale so since you were very nice this year, you should treat yourself to some fabulous new goodies!

Here's my calendar!
