Fun challenge! I love making backgrounds! My background was made using a fun splatter image w/ grape ink and a snowflake background using white ink. I also added a few of the white snowflakes to the top of my main image and stamped the tree line greeting with boysenberry ink.
A few snow dots & a white line under the trees were added w/ a white gel pen. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50. It's on my blog: The Write Stuff
Thanks so much for looking!

That's a colour combo I love for Christmas! I used to have a DP very like your background with white snowflakes on purple - but without the lovely splatter .
