Here is this week's inspiration cupcake and color challenge. 

Inspiration Cupcake: Sparkling Cider Cupcakes from Life Made Simple

Here's my take...

I was really attracted to the "lights" in the background. I used a kraft cardstock base and my cream layer is embossed with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. I used sequins from Lawn Fawn and My Style Stamps to create my own "lights". I covered Macaw DIY Thickers in an un-named gold glitter (from Terri) after attaching them to my card front. The inside is super simple with just a Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment stamped in Stampin' Up's Chocolate Chip ink.

I also made these versions because I liked the card so much. :)
