Adhere the 1 x 3 7/8 punched edge to the right side of the navy dot print. Adhere the 2 ¾ x 3 7/8 navy dot print paper with punched edge ½ from right-side of plaid print paper edge. Die cut shape out using spellbinder shapes and 2 ¾ x 3 ½ stripe print paper. Using foam mounting tape, adhere die cut shape to center of navy dot print.

Stamp small giraffe on 2 1/4 x 3 white cardstock. I colored the images using color pencils. Whatever you have is fine. Cut the giraffe out using your scissors.
