Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”

I used a Blending Brush to apply Pool Party ink to the oval space masked by the Masking Paper.

With the Masking paper still in place I stamped the fronds of seaweed in Shaded Spruce ink. The Masking paper was then carefully peeled away revealing the inked oval.
