Step 1

Open a new document, set the background to the size you want. I'm using 270 by 249

Using the gradient tool choose a white and blue background color and apply it to the stage.

Step 2

In a New Layer,using the custom shape tool

Step 3

In the custon shape tool are some of the pre-defined shapes which we can see in the options palette.-Choose the snowflake Once you have the snowflake on the stage- We now need to lower the fill to "0%"

The snowflake in your background should disappear

Step 4

In this step you need to the layer style window- we will be doing alot of work in here.

first- Check off Bevel and emboss and click on Bevel and emboss a menu should open. For style choose inner bevel- Play with the depth to your liking. Under shading pick Gloss contour and choose one to your liking. Choose a texture-I picked the Bubbles then I add an inner glow to make my snow gloss more

Step 5

This should be your finish result. There you go! your are finish.
