What a great trip Stacy is carrying us on this week. We are headed to The Smithsonian Institution. You'll find plenty of inspiration there. I found a lot of old 2- seater bicycles to inspire me. This is the Columbia Tandem Bicycle, 1896. https://ids.si.edu/ids/deliveryServi...442G&max_w=450
To create my card, I stamped the bicycle and colored, then masked it off and sponged on some sand. I made a few grains of sand darker with my dot stamp. Last, I punched out a cloud die and used for a template just sponging around the edges for my sky.
I hope you can see the sparkle in the water made with my Spectrum Noir glitter brush (Sparkle).
I put a frame around it and added a sentiment.

What a wonderful summer card! I can't wait to go sit on the beach when it's warm again (if that ever happens!!) Love your tandem bike - the sand and ocean!
