    step three - Cut the card into a strip 5cm x 15cm ( 2" x 6") and cut into four slightly different sized angular shapes. Cut a piece of black card 7.5cm x 17.5cm (3" x 7") and stick the wax painted card in place using the double sided sticky tape.

    step five - Fold the A4 black card in half and cut so it is slightly larger than the gold card. Place double sided sticky on the reverse of the gold card and just pull back the first 2.5 cm (1") of the backing and press the gold card into place. Pull the backing off of the double sided sticky tape to stick the rest of the gold card down. In this way your gold card will be in the exact spot you want it.
