Wow! Was this ever a challenge for me! I've never tried the inspiration challenge, and I tried hard to be true to the inpiration image as I saw it. I usually do cards with bright colours and a very central image - so this was really tough.
1. Used an alcolhol ink polished stone background ( had trouble finding the alcohol blending soloution -30 minute search
2. Really didn't have the rigtht stamps. Just had to jumble through my stash. Felt I was doing limited supply challenge.
3. No central image in IC - what to do?
4 . No snowflake stamps. So - punched them out of gold foil instead and reaquanted myself with my xyron sticker machine.
But in real life it turned out quite pretty. Used bazzil bling paper for the layers. Hope you like it...

It's a gorgeous card and I love your creativeness. I have a Xyron as well and have never used it. Those snowflakes inspire me to give it a try.
