The base card is heavy cream linen finish, so I punched 12 squares from light cream parchment paper and made a larger square in gold paper for the centre, by punching four times. It was really difficult lining up the punch to get a bigger square, so there were about 8 centres that ended up in the bin before I got a good one... then spacing ... ugh.
