Tandem Bike Sketch Card

Created this Tandem Bike Sketch card because I like to ride the Tandem Bike my hubby & I have. 

Some of you may know that I cannot ride a regular bike. I grew up mostly in a house that was right off a highway so not much space or area for learning to ride a bike. 

I cannot ride a regular bike but I can pilot a single engine plane. See one of the planes, a Pitts Special, I helped build & have flown in photos below.

Used Sweethearts Cricut cartridge for the Tandem Bike image.

Used Papertake Weekly sketch.


Used monochromatic blue which is one of my fav colors.
