Christmas Theme With Sophisticated Sled!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week and for this month, this is our theme:

I chose to use the Sophisticated Sled Bundle and also added in a patterned sheet from the Country Woods Designer Paper. Once the designer paper was cut, I removed part of it and flipped it to the 2nd side for a different pattern:

Look, no white at all! The sled uses three different dies and then I added the stamped and diecut skates on top:
