Sophisticated Sled - Pretty in Pink and Gray Granite

I love this stamp "Sophisticated Sled" and it will be available July 3 to my customers.  I've been playing around with it in different layouts and colors.  The layout and colors on this card was Cased by StampwithDr.Robin. com but I changed mine a little differently.

2.    The second layer is Pool Party cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.  Adhere to the base of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals/

3.    Die-cut a Basic White circle using the largest Spotlight on Natures Dies.

4.    Ink up the snowman stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento and stamp on the center of the circle.
