Hi bloggers!  Back to a Fire and Ice card (just can't stay away to long, now can I!) LOL   I cut four of the Indonesian Borders out of black card.  I covered four strips of black card with sticky adhesive sheets and cut out just the outline of the border.  I peeled off the backing paper and lined them up with the decorative borders and attached them, then gilded the remaining exposed adhesive with Gemstones Gilding Flakes.  I repeated the process with the corners from the same set.  I cut a square of black card and glued the borders all the way around the edge, cutting off the excess.  I glued the corners on top and added pearls.  For the focal element, I coated the Island Blooms stamp with Flake and Glitter glue and stamped it onto black card.  I allowed it to turn clear, then gilded it with the same flakes.  I used a Rubit Scrubit pad to refine and remove the excess flake.  I seated it on a backing cut out of white card from the Sumatra die set.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the inner die, added a gold edge to it with a paint pen and attached it to the centre of the card.    White and black mats were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x  7 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
