Playing a little challenge catch-up and trying to keep more current, I browsed to see what challenges would be good to use for my card, I came up with nine (9) challenges, as follows:
1) WORD0620 - Fan Club Monthly Themes--June 2020, "Good As Gold!" My card meets the theme by using lots of gold metallic. It is for the WORD Challenge section. My card elements for the word GLAM are: G=gold foil; L=leaves, layering, label dies; A=aqua color, angled sentiment, adhesives; M=mat layers, metallic embellishments.
2) ABC13K11 - Alphabet Challenge, "Letter K" - 6/10/20. My "K" is for Kerchief Kit and its kerchief papers provided in the kit.
3) FS696 - Featured Stamper Challenge, "Who Stamps?" I chose this pretty card of Patty's: Love What You Do!
4) IC757 - Inspiration Challenge, "Design Pool" (Pinterest Board) - 6/6/20. I chose this for shower curtain color palette for my inspiration: Color Palette--Shower Curtain.
5) AOCC20 - All Occasions Card Challenge, June 2020 - 6/1/20. This is one of my two family female birthday cards I needed for this month!
6) USEIT2020 - Use It Challenge (ongoing annually), June 2020 - 6/1/20. Use things gathering dust from lack of use...new or old. Something new purchased a long time ago & never used...or something old and not re-used in a long while. I used something new/but old with my Kerchief Card Kit, which I received late in December 2019 and am finally opening the package and using it! I also used something over 10 years old...a Sizzix Sizzlit Leaf Branch die for my leaves.
7) WT792 - Ways to Use It Challenge, "Flags Up" - 5/14/20. Using some sort of flag, mine is a fishtail flag sentiment.
S2S20 - Stamp to Save Challenge, May 2020, "Travel Dreams" - 5/7/20. This card depicts the Paris Eiffel Tower in France. Oh, if only the world here all better...that trip would be wonderful, but even a trip to Las Vegas and stay in the same hotel where we have a beautiful unimpeded view of the Paris Casino Eiffel Tower right outside our window!
9) MMTPT531 - Teapot Challenge, "Let's Take A Book" - 9/25/18. We were to show what we like to read. One of my favorite authors is Kristin Hannah, who lives in my neighborhood...the Pacific Northwest. All of her novels have been set in Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. One of my favorites is "The Nightingale" set in Paris and Washington. The cover is a night view with a silhouette of the Eiffel Tower. I tried to incorporate a copy but I just didn't know quite how to do it.

Wow, this is spectacular! Love the colors, the collage of elements (especially the gold Eiffel Tower die cut ) as well as the other touches of gold. I am sure that your daughter was thrilled with this card!
