Casablanca Arch Swap

This swap was a huge challenge! Originally, I thought I had signed up for a Gothic Arch Swap...I knew where I wanted to go with that. :) A tombstone with a crow perched on top or a building with a gargoyle.....Turns out it was a Gothic Arch swap but the theme was Casablanca :)
So off to study Casablanca. I found a photo of the front of Rick's Cafe......loved the design! That became my inspiration though my arch looks nothing like the real door.
I used a piece of red textured paper, a wooden arched window, a mirror, a wooden gate, chain and a "Casablanca" map for the back.

The paper was folded around the window that had a small mirror behind it. (my quiet shout out to the line, "Here's looking at you, kid". The wooden gates were painted a metallic  gold. I decided the cafe was closed so I added some chain around the gate and a bird nesting on the door frame.The back is simply a map printed on muslin. :) It turned into a fun swap!
