Do you like winter and miss this season? In this way this tutorial special for you! We will create snowflakes everywhere.
Start by making a new document in Photoshop. After creating your document, fill the background with a gradient. For this select some appropriate colors, for example colors of #8cdbe8 and #49aedd. 
Now create a new layer, then select the Brush Tool and a soft round brush with size about 150 px. Make a couple of strokes, using white color. 
After that apply Filter > Blur > Motion Blur with the next presets:

After that change layer mode to Screen: 
Ok, now apply Filter > Blur > Motion Blur with the next presets:

We are done with a winter background; now let’s start to create our own snowflakes. Select the Line Tool (Weight: 5 px) and make a couple of lines using color of #4bb4f0 like on picture below: 
Merge all lines in one layer and press Ctrl+J to duplicate this layer. Apply Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal to make horizontally reflected copy. 
Ok, now merge two of these layers again and press Ctrl+J to duplicate this layer one more time. Apply Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical to make vertically reflected copy. 
After that merge two of these new layers again, press Ctrl+J and rotate copied layer with Edit > Transform > Rotate 90 CW: 
Merge two of layers again, and press Ctrl+J again and apply Edit > Transform > Free Transform for new copied layer. 
Merge two of these layers the last. We are done with snowflake shape. Now I would like to stylize its view. Apply Filter > Stylize > Diffuse with similar settings to these:
