paper flower card

hi there! saw some paper flowers in my new addition of "cards" magazine, and thought i'd give it a quick try.

some interesting things about this card:
-there is NO cardstock (except for card base) on this one! i think this might be a first!
-i paper pieced the birds body
-used coluzzle to cut out "flowers" then distressed edges of circles with my SU paper distresser (that is one FABULOUS tool!), then curled.
-i used NO dimensionals on this card! i think this also might be a first!

card recipe:
paper- DCWV
ink- jim holtz "walnut stain" distress ink
stamps- swirl is from TAC, bird is from SU "a little birdie told me", and sentiment is from studio G (michaels)
accessories- buttons, rick rack, hemp twine

ok, for the trivia. for last posts question, "on the early episodes of 'the facts of life', what was the character of tootie seldom seen without?" carol and becky got it right with roller skates! that was a great show! whatever happened to clean shows on tv?

new trivia question-
on what sitcom did tom hanks star as a guy who, along with his friend, dressed up as women to live in a rent controlled, female only apartment complex?

well, i'm off to bed and onto a busy weekend! are you watching the super bowl or preparing and replenishing the goodies for it? =D have fun no matter what you do!

This is a beautiful and creative card! I just love it!

As for the trivia. I have no clue. I have never seen Facts of Life either. As for the Superbowl, I am definitely watching it tomorrow! I am pulling for New York. How about you?

Great card, as always! You produce some amazing cards! Love the trivia...Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari starred in Bossom Buddie. I agree with Maria, Tom Hanks has come a very long way. I remember the show well and liked Scolari a lot better.

As for the Super Bowl, I have to laugh. I have minimal interest and my husband even less. Our son is playing at a friends until after dinner and we've spent the afternoon surfing and chatting with each other. The closest we'll get to the game is the commercials, which are the best part:)
