♥ A {real} "GATE" Card ♥ {City Crafter GDT}

I have the pleasure to be this week's Guest Designer on the City Crafter Challenge Blog! And the awesome challenge this week is to make a gate card. For directions on how to make one, you can visit HERE or HERE.

I decided to make a real gate card! I used a mini Ornate chipboard Gate from Dusty Attic, which I added some white paint to and then "aged" it a bit with some various inks and then added some punched leaves and flowers to it as well as some punched butterflies, Melissa Frances resin keyhole and a tea-stained crocheted heart. When you "tuck" the heart under one of the mini roses it holds the gate closed. I used some pieces of thin hemp cord to hold the gates onto the front of the flaps. So the gates really open. So I have a gate fold card with real gates on it! :)

I also used paper by Making Memories, a Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps (Love Mail), ribbon, crystal chandelier pendant, pearls, and trim.

Stop by the City Crafter Challenge blog to say Hi and participate in this fun challenge!! I would love to see your gate cards too!

Have a wonderful day!
