On the left is an example of posts using the twentytwelve theme.
The two post on the right are the same posts using a child theme. The style is that of twentythirteen, but the sequence of elements still follows twentytwelve’s template.
The above example was created using a child theme which consists of nothing more than a style.css file in a folder named twentytwelve-child. The code looks like this:

In the code after the import of the style.css file, you can add your own css:
Next we’ll look at more complicated code.
