Yesterday I designed the card in Design Studio and had to do some welding on it for the frame, other than that it is simple cuts. But I didn't have time to cut it then. I was going to get home tonight and get it done but I decided to color my hair *okie knows her facebook friends have seen the non-gray okie now* before I cut the card. Of course I cut four of the card but only got one completely done tonight *okie wonders if anyone always gets everything done that they plan*.
Supplies Used -Cricut Expressions
French Manor cartridge
Crate Paper Crush Collection
I-Rock
Hot set gems
SU Chocolate Chip marker
Cat Eye Chalk ink dark brown
I did hand cut the golden paper in the tail and wing. I didn't want to spend all that time clicking to do the hide contour and it only took me a few seconds. I also had to make a few snips in the flourish at the bottom of the frame.
Okay I might have lied earlier when I said it was simple cuts. Those dang peacocks and scrolls too FOREVER to get done cutting! It might not be so bad if I could just do one, but....I can't.
Here you can see the gems a little better. That I-Rock...well - IT ROCKS!
I had been using a Hot Marks tool and I find the I-Rock much more simple to use. You can see where I added gems to his crown, eye and tail. The crown and tail are 2mm and the tail gems are 3mm. You can click the picture if you want to see more detail.*******UPDATE*********
Someone asked for the .cut file for this card, not sure why I didn't post it before but here it is now! *okie grins*
MERCI PEACOCK
Gorgeous card! I think I need an I-Rock.
ReplyDeleteLooks like that peacock cut is a favorite of those who have received their cartridge. Mine is still stuck in customs UGH! I hate how long it takes things to get to Italy. This is a beautiful, beautiful card. I'm glad I was up early and got to be first. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right baout the peacocks being favorites I LOVE that cut! I have used it already 5-6 times :)
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful!
This is really pretty!! The peacock cut is why I want the circle. Great job
ReplyDeleteOKie...This doesn't sound soooo easy to make... :o) but it does look lovely! So glad I'm not the only one who makes several of one card! :)

That i-rock looks interesting. Thanks for the review. And yes, I can relate to having too many choices that I don't know what to do & then nothing gets done - all the time!
ReplyDeleteOkie - This looks gorgeous!! Love it!!.I love how you have doodled too.

That is so pretty! I have been wanting to do this cut, but haven't had time yet. I want the Irock!! I'm on a list to be called when it comes in :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd no one ever gets everything done that they want to. I think I have 10 projects to cut from my Gypsy right now!!
I love it! I am waiting for them to open up the circle again so I can join...should have jumped off the fence sooner.
ReplyDeleteCan you say ... WOW!!! Such a beautiful card ... and I really like the jewels on the feathers, the perfect embellishment! =)
ReplyDeleteUt Ohhhh ... I suppose I need to get an I-Rock now too???? =(
ReplyDeletepssst ... got the jewels ... LOVE 'EM!!! =)
This is amazing and I am glad you were honest. It looks that you put hours into it. Thinking it up would take me hours. I love all the gems and I need to look up I-Rock. Things that rock are important.
ReplyDeleteThanks Okie,
Linda
