I chose the pinky purple paper since i had a lot on hand, seems I don't use a lot of purple in any of my work. The card base is a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 size, but I made these postcard style so all you have to do is flip it over for the details. The 4 rectangles measure 3/4 x 4 1/2 and the horizontal rectangle measures 1 1/4 x 4 1/2. I cut these on my Cricut from a rectangle with rounded edges. I then inked the edges in a darker purple and glued onto the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" base card. The pillow I glued only partly onto the card base, so the finished card measures 6 1/4 x 4 1/2. Invitations are being hand delivered so I was not concerned about fitting into an envelope.
The smaller water splat and raindrops in the upper right hand corner are from a couple of old punches I own. The large water splat and drops are cut from the Cricut Explore I don't know the cartridge name as I just searched for water splat and found one I liked. Pool party is cut from the Cricut Explore also using my fonts I have installed on my computer. The word POOL is Ballon font and PARTY is Boyz r gross font. Last finishing touches were some highlights using a blue sparkle jelly pen.
