Krafty Chicks challenge #793 - 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. We always need birthday cards so we hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.
I'm actually sharing a card I made for my sister's birthday at the end of August but forgot to share with you.  She is known to like a drink or two so this die set was just perfect for her lol!  The card size is 7" x 7" as I like to make larger cards for my close family and also the die set I used it huge and needed a bigger card to fit it all on.  I hope you like it.
Here is my card:
A closer look at the details:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by die cutting all the elements from black, pink, yellow, gold glitter card and vellum and used liquid glue to adhere them together (except for the hearts which were added with foam squares).  I cut a panel of yellow patterned paper 6 3/4" square and matted it onto pink card.  I cut a white panel which I embossed with the fun streamers folder and again matted it onto pink card with double sided tape.  I added some scrap white card behind the embossed panel and then adhered it to the yellow panel with double sided tape.  The bottle and glasses were added with foam squares plus I also cut some stars from gold glitter card and adhered them above the glasses with liquid glue. I created the sentiment on my pc and printed out onto my usual white card and die cut it with an oval die; I again cut a pink mat from the same oval die set and adhered them together with liquid glue.  This was then added to the corner of the embossed panel with foam squares.  For the inside I cut a white panel 6 3/4" square and matted it onto a pink layer with double sided tape.  I added a strip of the yellow paper onto the top and bottom with liquid glue and stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink.  I also added 3 more gold glitter stars next to the sentiment with liquid glue.  

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