The Christmas card is for the Mixed Media challenge "Blue". I had to take part in that challenge as those of you who know me well, will know that I passionately love blue!
I was playing with my Inka Golds and made a few sheets of background by putting small blobs of different colours of Inka Gold (in this case blue and silver) onto my craft sheet, spritzing with water, and pressing my cardstock into it. In some spots it comes out thick, in others thin so there is some nice texture to the card.
I then stamped some random bits of text on the piece (with some of the ink wiped off of the stamp before stamping). Because it did not dry flat, I used a trick I saw Bonnie (bon2stamp) use recently where she made a frame to put around a piece to keep it flatter.
Out of slightly glittered cs, I die cut some small snowflakes and the "winter wishes", making three layers of each and sticking them together for dimension. I lost the little die cut dot for over the "i" in "winter" so substituted a little embellishment.
Here's the Mixed Media challenge if you want to take part:

Beautiful and artistic Christmas card, Susan. Love how you did your bg....TFS. The scattering of snowflakes and the raised greeting are all perfectly done.
