The Double Dare Challenge that I do with some SCS friends was from Anne (jdmommy) this week and her challenge was to make a New Year's card with some shine or bling.
I've been waiting to use this New Year's hat stamp so I whipped that right out - and I actually cased one of my own cards - (you can see it right next to this one in my gallery) because I just loved how the embossed city scape stamp by Amuse looks and thought it would work for this card too!

I LURVE this card! It is THE perfect New Year's card, and makes me think of Times Square with white snow...or confetti!...raining down...depends on the finicky NY weather I guess! Awesome challenge card!

Julia, I loved your other card and I love this one, too! You can't get any closer to resembling New Year's Eve than the big city night lights and the dropping ball with this city scape stamp. Magnificent New Year's card, my friend!
