Beautiful Blizzard Card

I had to laugh when I typed this title.  Is there anything such as a beautiful blizzard?  In my opinion, a blizzard is not pretty --- unless it's on a card.  Anyway, I love today's card and it is a tribute to the beauty of our new color - Merry Merlot.  This card was inspired by Mary Fish, whom I met at a SU Convention one year.

I used the Big Shot embossing mats with the Blizzard Thinlit Die to emboss the top layer of my card.  I added a quick spritz of Bright Copper Shimmer Paint that I mixed in my spritzer bottle with alcohol.  It's really pretty.  I was already in love with the Champagne Mist and use it all the time.  Then SU came out with the Bright Copper AND Vegas Gold (and brought back Frost White and Champagne Mist) shimmer paints and all I can say is WOW.  They're gorgeous when mixed to make a spritzer.  Love them all! 

I love this new Merry Merlot/Copper ribbon.  It is absolutely gorgeous.  It works with Cherry Cobbler, too, believe it or not.  Often you can mix up our ribbons a bit and they work very well.  They are versatile:)
