My mum very kindly sent me a few small sheets of leather effect backing papers and when I saw this gorgeous burgundy one, I couldn’t resist matching it with a very african image of two giraffes.

I was stunned by the final result, as this is what I came up with.

Hope you like it!

This is one of the best cards I have seen. The giraffes look so good against the leather-look paper, and it makes you feel like you are in Africa. Well done!
