I combined "Blow Art" challenge and Faith's Kaela Angel at Designed 2 Delight on this card because my daughter Kim is a design team member on both challenges.
It's hard to see in the picture, you may need to enlarge it, but the background is made first, by clear embossing snowflakes on glossy card stock, then using the stone technique (reinkers dabbed with an alcohol soaked cotton ball), next I used the "Blow Art" technique, and finally embossed it with a snowflake cuttlebug folder.
I am entering this in several challenges:
Day 255, 365 Cards - Blow Art
ABC Challenge - H is for Holiday
A Spoonful of Sugar - Snowflakes
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - A Berry Color Palette
Crafty Calendar Challenge - Winter Theme with optional snowflakes

Crazy Challenge - Things with wings
Designed 2 Delight - Kaela Angel digi
Digital Tuesday Challenge - use up stash and digi (pretty much everything I used to make this card has been around a long time, except for the digi!)
Double Delight Challenge - use Kaela Angel and make it sparkle
For Fun Challenge - to dry emboss
Incy Wincy Designs - the sketch
Anything Challenge - emboss it

Wow!! That background "blow art" you created is wonderful!! I have never tried this for a card, and so I will have to check out the tutorial. I love doing this project with my kids. I taught kindergarten art last year, and I know exactly what you are talking about. :) lol!
Oh mother, you are such a wonderful and creative card maker! I love your non-traditional Christmas color card and all that sparkle is blindingly beautiful! Thanks for continuing to support the Design Teams that I'm on and for giving me endless inspiration! Now, what will you do next?!?! Can't wait to see!!!
