What I've used:

Kraft card base

Snowflake die - Sissix

Deer die - The Range

Kraft corrugated tag - The Works

Embossing folder - Sissix


Although there are a lot of layers this was very easy to put together - there's a lot of texture even though the design is very simple.

Allsorts Challenge #705 - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
