For my card, I used a 7" sq. white card. I added a gold mat, (gutted, saving some of the gold foild card).

They are raised with 3 d foam pads. Purple gem stones added. 

I apologise that there is a problem with the In - Linkz, I am hoping this will be checked sometime today. It seems the In-Linkz server may be down, as this is affecting a lot of blogs. Apologies - it has been a Cloud global problem which at 3 p.m. is now hopefully resolved.
