I made 2 cards to showcase this New Release so be sure to scroll all the way down to view both creations.

Card Size:  4.5" x 6"

I used the beautiful Ornate Gateway Die, and I used a the center portion of the flourish accent piece for my corners.  The soft pink patterned paper is from the Daphne 12x12 Collection.  I didn't want to take away from the gate so I kept my card fairly simple.

The gate pieces open to reveal the All Seasons Gazebo stamp that I coloured with Copic Markers.

Inside:

I love decorating the inside of my cards, I used the Spring Season stamp and stamped it with Tattered Rose Distress Ink, I then stamped the bucket of flowers with Black Memento ink onto a separate piece of white CS, I coloured it with Copics Markers, fussy cut it and attached it to the inside of my card.  I also used the All Seasons Sentiments to add the word 'Blessings', also stamped on a separate piece of white CS and fussy cut.  Copics Used:  W1, W3, W5, R01, G20, G21, YG67, E33.

 I totally lifted this awesome stained glass window idea from the lovely Dina over at Mama Dini's Stamperia.  I didn't have plans to do stained glass until I saw the awesome HC Ornate Gateway Die.

I used HC Clear CS and Copic Markers to achieve the stained glass look. I attached the clear CS to the back of the gates, and then coloured on the back of the clear CS with Copics...I sort of dabbed the colour on, rather than coloured it on, to achieve the textured glass look.

 Copics Used:
RV13, RV66, R35, BG57, B37

Inside:

The All Seasons Gazebo stamp comes with a beautiful lace stamp and I used that for the inside of my card.
