I have a very special card to share with you today, made by my very own future stamper of America! My teenage daughter, Ainsley, spent some time crafting with me the other night. A rare treat! We used to stamp together all the time when she was little, but it's been at least a couple of years.
Ainsley turned this sketch sideways and followed in her mommy's steps by creating a rustic elegant card. The snowflake garland was her own very clever idea, as was adding ornaments to the deer's antlers. Adorable, don't you think?! Ainsley wants to win the prize at VLV and donate her proceeds to a worth cause... hmmm... my birthday present! ;0
Now for my take...
I went with a traditional design and stamped this Merry stamp by Verve in Vivid Cobblestone ink onto a foiled panel. I used a BG floral embossing folder to give some texture, mixed with this paper it resembles a poinsettia, though I had never thought that before.
I'm linking us up to VLV for their November Week 1 Sketch challenge

Very pretty! You captured the fun feel and colors on the inspiration (how cool you were inspired by your very talented daughter) and I really love both of your cards!!!
