I made this Anniversary Card using the Lovely as a Tree stamp set by Stampin' Up!.   It features mirror image stamping which I saw on a You Tube video.  Once you stamp the images the background is sponged and the sentiment heat embossed.  This is an A2 size card.  Mirror Image stamping and card CASEd  from a video by Dawn Griffith.
