You will need: 
Your basic card kit, plus...
Yellow card blank
Brown, green orange, yellow & white coloured card
Yellow patterned paper
Punches - flowers & small circles
Flower-shaped brads
green ribbon
Brown fineliner pen

Step 1
Use the template to cut the giraffe shape from yellow patterned paper. Cut out and layer on simple shapes for the giraffe's eyes, hooves and markings. Doodle on details with a brown fineliner pen.

Step 2
Cover the front of your card blank with green card, then add a strip of white card across the middle. Stick your giraffe in place with lots of sticky foam pads.

Step 3
Cut a branch shape from brown card - or snip a design from some tree-patterned paper! Tie the branch with short strips of green ribbon, to look like leaves.

Step 4
Print or handwrite your greeting on yellow patterned paper, then trim into a scalloped circle. Decorate with punched flowers and shaped brads.

Step 5
Add the greeting and branch to the card front, overlapping the giraffe's leg.
