Haven't made a gate fold card for a while. I put a magnet strip behind the sentiment panel and under the bottom part of the right hand panel to help keep the card closed. I did the same thing under the neck and head of the flamingo. I used the out of the box technique there and fussy cut just that part of the flamingo out so the card could open and leave the bird uncut. This will be going to my Granddaughter who was just accepted to a very competitive art program for next school year.

What a gorgeous tropical card this Pat. I love how you did the sentiment (and I love what the sentiment says too!) and the use of the magnet to keep things closed. This flamingo is gorgeous and she looks positively pink too! How fun. I would say the apple does not fall too far from the tree if you granddaughter is going into art school now. What a great accomplishment for her! ~Karen.
