Beautiful Morning

This is my first card for Digi Doodle Shop's Best as DT member and it means it's a Special Day.

Theme for this week's challenge 77 is distressing. Link is -> THIS to the challenge.

There are two different digistamps on the card, the gorgeous Antique Wash Stand Set and Vintage Corset & Pantaloons. You can find DDS Digis from here. Aren't they beautiful?

I did some flipping, resizing and something else to get the mirror image to look like she is actually looking at the mirror. Colours are chosen to get Victorian era and also some smudging and some snow tex, lilac ink, scissors and patience to distress the card.






Hih, went wild with the pics, but trying to show "all the hard work" I've done :D

Can't wait visiting your blogs and seeing what you come up with!
