As a runner, the thing I look forward to the most with the coming of Spring is being able to run in daylight at both ends of the day! I found this silhouette image on Google images and printed it on white cardstock. Then I used a sunburst die as a stencil to create the beams, layering three shades of ink with a foam dauber. Living close to the ocean, I added some seagulls for company and created some pieces of "road" with Posca pen. Lastly, I added some Wink of Stella to make the sunbeams sparkle.

A beautiful card- and I love your runner surrounded by the sun beams! My DD2 is a huge runner and I will have to CASE this for a card for her! Wonderfully created!

Great image and sunburst. And gosh yes, I love the longer days. I notice them already, though it's still dark if I go in to work early. Love the flight of birds.

Faith,
Oh yes to have sunshine and not dark at the end of our days will be nice! It's way to cold here in Wisconsin today, -12! Love your rays of sunshine and those birds were a fabulous addition!!

Oh, I'm right there with you concerning the return of daylight savings time! I really dislike the darkness so early in the evening. Your card is really striking with the runner silhouette and the sparkly sun rays!

My knees are way too bad for running but I do like to walk a few miles every day when the weather is nice. LOVE, love how you showcased your runner with the frame of sun rays!
