Krafty Chicks challenge #775 - birthday

Good morning lovely friends. I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week so far. It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and this week we are on Week 1; as always the theme is 'birthday' and Leanne is our hostess. It can't get any easier than this week's challenge so we hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.

I was really pushed for time this week so I was happy to find most of what I used on my card already prepared in a box at the side of my desk.  Sometimes if I die cut something or colour something and then decide not to use it, I will put it the box to use another time.  It is a real time saver when you're out of time.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the flowers:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by die cutting the white panel with a stitched rectangle die.  The basket weave cover plate had already been die cut from white card and was in 'the box' so I adhered them together with liquid glue.  I had the flower cluster left over from my Gina K appreciation card so added that with foam squares and the happy birthday was already die cut and stacked x 4 so I adhered that with liquid glue.  I added some black pearls around the card and also put some clear raindrop embellishments in the centres of the flowers. The panel was backed with some scrap white card for a tiny bit of dimension and added to my card base with double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel with the stitched rectangle die, stamped the same flower cluster in the top left and bottom right corners with light grey ink and stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink.  The panel was then adhered to the card base with double sided tape.  This card came together so quickly but I think it's really pretty.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
