I have a good friend who just completed the Boston Marathon a few days ago. Made him a card to say congratulations. Mostly just posting this so that I can remember what I did if I ever need to make one again.
Found a digital image of a runner's silhouette, found the quote online. Printed the image and quote on the cardstock then stamped the tree line over top. Finally sponged the background with Old Olive, More Mustard and Cajun Craze. Added some Cajun Craze, Old Olive and More Mustard card stock and it was done.
Hope that he likes it!
