Joy Fold Birthday Card - Cracked Stained Glass

Morning everyone, I have had so much fun creating this card this morning. Yes, I know another Joy Fold card, be warned I have another two variations I still want to try. Once again I have used the black leather craft card as my base card and for the topper. I have cut the topper with my Spellbinder Scalloped Edged Circle. How lucky was that ...... just remembered the name of the image was on the back as I had received it in an 'Image Swap' from over at Craftmad. Thankfully I have trimmed the name off in one piece and it was in my bin. :-) It is from Inkadinkadoo - Best Friends. Very pretty and fun to colour with my watercolour pencils. This morning Cheryl over at 'My Cardmaking Haven' posted a tutorial on Cracked Glass. Eileen over at Ikki's Cuttlebug Cupboard had also written a post about Triple Embossing. So I thought why not try it all out today. So much fun embossing so many times and then putting the image in the freezer and cracking it. :-) The striped papers on this card I have collected from a UK magazine giveaway and the blue background paper is 'Making Memories' - Boho -Lauren Box Flower. Oh and I can't forget the lovely black greeting sticker I used to finish it all off.
Inside...I have lined the circle with some Mulberry Paper.
