I created the background for my card using a piece of Lisa's Grungy Christmas paper which I dry embossed with an embossing folder and then sanded back.  I added white brads to the centres of some of the snowflakes.

The image I've used is from the Christmas Children Digital Collate Sheet which you can find here.
