I first saw this card on Jan Farrings' blog, and knew I had to "case" it right away. I love the vintage look and feel of it! Since Jans' instructions were so perfect and easy to follow I asked her permission to copy and paste them here for you all to see for yourself. Hope you enjoy and have fun making your own dresser mirror card.
