How do I show a standard card on Alexa Echo show using Lambda?

Question

I'm a student so I'm quite new to this :p I have created a code to create a conversation between a client and Alexa. However I want to show pictures during a conversation.

Eg

User says "I want to a map from the zoo." . Alexa confirms it by saying "Do you want a map from the zoo?". User says "yes". Alexa then shows a map of the zoo.

My problem is that I am unable to make the standard card to show the image of the zoo. I am using Amazon S3 to make the image address and I have already made it public.

Is there a code or any way to allow my code to show the standard card with the map on it? I am using Lambda to make my code.

Any help would be appreciated!

You can utilize Alexa Body Templates to display images as well.

These templates have designs to include you place images in various styles.
