One more case of one of today's FS, Mer's cards: MMTPT702 Cheers for New Year by MerMer5050 at Splitcoaststampers
Her cute image of the mouse with the raised glass reminded me of this favorite HM stamp. I colored the image in colored pencil and Copics and stamped the confetti in gold. Embossed the black panel with more "confetti" (actually snow, but it works) and heat embossed the sentiment. Die cut the scalloped circle, sponged the eges and added black Sharpie dots. After doing so, I thought it looked like a paper cocktail coaster! Added some Crystal Coat Glaze to the glass and colored the ribbon with gold gel pen. Thanks for all the great inspirations, Mer!!

You got it all -- the cute mice, the drink and the scallop framing -- great CASE. Love love love the blacks and gold on this. It looks both festive and classy. Reminds me of New Years! Oh my, that's not that far away is it. Yikes. Well, this is one delightful way to ring it in. Another fabulous card.

Hi Faith, I am very honored that you were inspired by so many cards in my gallery and participated multiple times in the challenge! I love how you carried over so many elements from the original card, yet made this one completely your own. I can definitely see the similarity in the mouse, glass, cheers sentiment, scalloped circle, gold and black accents. This is an adorable House Mouse image and your coloring is excellent, really brings them to life. The embossed falling snow as confetti dots is very clever! The white scallop circle totally looks like a paper cocktail coaster and plays into the overall theme perfectly - how serendipitous! HUGS, Mer

Totally adorable. I LOVE that image (I am a huge HM addict) and the sketch is really well matched to it. Hugz
