Fox pair with owl

I have a bunch of Lavinia stamps and I pulled them out and have been playing with them. It's so different than my regular stamps that have to be colored, and these have to make a scene. I started with a large sun and did shades of pink/red to do a sunset. I did a hill with trees and added my fox pair and owl flying through the sun. I added some branch leaves.

Dancing Anniversary Couple

At the end of this month, my parents will be celebrating their 53rd wedding anniversary so I thought I better be prepared and get my card together. I used this fun set from Art Impressions again, Perfect Duo. Now my Dad has all his hair and hardly any gray/white so I tried to add hair to this bald image and it didn't go well so I made my own baseball cap which is fitting for him. I heat embossing the sentiment and dry embossed the background.
