Mixing Hot Foil Plates and Dies to Create a Winter Scene

Hi everyone!
Scrappy Tails just released there Holiday collection over the weekend and it's an amazing one! It's called Candlelight Christmas and has an Old English Christmas theme with a fun pop up lantern die set! 
I love all the new products and had a hard time choosing which one to use first. I decided to go with this adorable reindeer from the new Layering Reindeer Pair die set, and I combined it with a few hot foil plates from last year's Christmas collection. I used the A2 Hot Foil Snow background plate and the Bold Christmas Sentiments! 
To make this card, I started by ink blending my background with teal colored inks. Once I was satisfied with the look, I hot foiled the A2 snow background using white matte foil. Then, I splashed it with some water to create the look of faded snow in the background.  
Next, I die cut and assembled one of the reindeer from the Layering Reindeer Pair die set. This deer is super easy to paper piece, I die cut the base from dark brown card stock and the layering pieces from a medium and light shade of brown. I die cut the scarf from pink, and added white gel pen accents to finish her off. 
 Finally, I foiled the sentiment "Let it Snow"with teal foil on white card stock. I trimmed the sentiment to a wide strip to create the bottom 'snow' for my card.  I trimmed the ink blended panel to 4"x5 1/4" and glued all the elements onto it. To separate the snow from the sky, I added a skinny strip of white glitter card stock, and that finishes off my card! 
Thank you so much for stopping by- I'll see you next time!
