I used various Sweet Stamps snowflakes and blue inks to create the snowy background. I also used a snowflake die cut I had for the little white snowflakes.

To create the two main snowflakes:

I stamped the large snowflakes on vellum and heat embossed silver embossing powder on it. Then I dry embossed on the vellum (from the back) to turn certain areas of the vellum white, and also to make it stick up. I colored other areas of the vellum blue. Lastly I matted the snowflakes with silver metallic paper.

A closer look:
