Response: Yay, it’s finally there! I wonder what took it so long…was the envelope damaged or anything? I’m happy you like it, Kathie. It’s just playing cards for the cover, with gesso and embossing, like in the swap tutorial. <3

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful assortment of Tim Holtz stamped images. I agree with you that it can be frustrating sometimes in getting a clearly stamped impression since so many of his images are distressed. I loved the way you made some of the images into mandalas: I think I used this technique in the dim past and will have to revisit it. Thank you for the additional ephemera and tissue paper. I carefully peeled off the washi tape and will use it in a junk journal or smash book spread. Altogether, this was a wonderful package to receive in the mail.

Comment: Hi Paula and thanks so much for this gorgeous Veridian Green ink box card. Any time is a good time for steam punk - right!! There is so much fabulous detail on this little piece of art - your background and the guy with the party hat, the clock, and the embossing - it's another Paula masterpiece! I love this format so glad you signed up for this one. And thank you for the extra goodies - I actually have a "steampunk" folder which these will go into for future use, and don't be surprised if you see that gorgeous green painted index card reappear at some future date!! Love to have you swapping again with this group. Hugs!

rating
Comment: Oh Paula! This Queen Elizabeth 1st ATC is glorious! I love the image that you chose and how you created a gorgeous frame for her regal portrait. Your beautiful calligraphy and the royal touches of gold here and there just complete this wonderful little work of art. So glad you joined this one! And thank you so much for the great extra goodies!!
Response: Ha! I was struck by how similar our interpretations of this swap prompt were! Great minds, my friend--great minds LOL. The sheet music behind her portrait (which you can barely make out because I gelli-printed over it) is from a piece I sang from her time period. I liked that little hidden synchronicity. xo (P.S. That's actually the queen's own beautiful calligraphy, not mine, though I'm honored you gave me credit for it!)

Comment: Oh. My. GOD! Paula, this is just exceptional! It gave me such a feeling of happiness and wellbeing to see a big fat envelope (you spoiled me with so many wonderful extras!) in my mailbox with your impeccable calligraphy all over it...it's been so LONG! I am beyond thrilled to see you actively swapping again...so many of us benefit from receiving pieces of your artwork, and it just wasn't the same here without you. As for the mail delivery, I blame the slimy Louis DeJoy for all of it. Even the sight of his face makes me angry. He looks a bit like Tony Soprano...just a malignant lumpy pile of flesh. Hopefully he will soon be just another anonymous rich guy, instead of someone who impacts us every single day. I don't want to end this with the thought of him in my mind, so let me once again tell you that your work is tres jolie. As my French friend Brigitte says: bisous! (Auto correct keeps changing French "kisses" to bison, but I have prevailed.)

Comment: Hi Paula! A red letter day when I find something from you in my mailbox. I love the idea of swapping items from our stashes with other swappers, and you sent me a fantastic bunch of bird themed ephemera. And believe it or not, I have none of these! I especially love the two large bird postage stamps - I get kind of stingy with my postage stamps so these will be saved for something extra special. And the little tiny white birds - are these die cuts? They are adorable! Have also never seen the bird collage sheet you included. Happy happy mail day! Thank you for everything - I shall have lots of fun using these. Take care. xo

Response: Thanks so much for the rating and the heart! Not sure if you realized that I included the swap for “Playing Card Journal” in the same envie as this one—didn’t want you to think it was just an extra (4 of clubs), because I noticed that you didn’t rate for that swap yet! I’m sure you get a ton of mail so I can see how things can get lost in the shuffle. Anyway, thanks for hosting two fantastic swaps—it’s great to be swapping with you again!

And, thank you so much for sending the DW tissue - yes, I'm a fan of her and love her classes. And thank you for the Dyan cut outs - I don't have anything like that so I will enjoy using them.

So beautiful. How amazing that you played with them! Sending many hearts for this swap.

I like your folded printed cover sheet, it's a nice touch. I really like how you incorporate the same print into the coin background. Thanks for detailing how you made the coin. I'm impressed with how sturdy your coin is. It's thin yet very solid, no bend. Thanks so much Paula!

And I especially loved the Madonna so that was a perfect choice. I ended up using "Mistletoe" for my M, which turned out okay. I thought this was such a fun swap and such a unique idea. And I love, love, love having you be my partner! Your work is incredible and I'm so excited to have you as a part of VPI. Thanks for the extra goodies you sent me, and I wish you and your family a beautiful Christmas! Laurie xoxo

Comment: Hi - so your tag arrived...barely. I took a pics of the arrival....torn to shreds on the outside, postal people put it in a ziplock bag thing and delivered it. However, the tag arrived all in one piece. The two things inside were partial bits, but thankfully taped together well. I am so amazed with your handwriting - it is art! I will check out your sites - looking forward to it. Super cute tag and thanks for participating in my swap! Don't know what the PO did to your mail, but just glad I got it! Thanks again. Cheers.
Response: What?? OMG! I have never heard of that happening before!! Sounds like the envie got shredded in their machines perhaps? I'm so glad the tag made it, although it sounds like the extras did not. :( How disappointing, Johny...I hope we are swap partners again soon so I can try to make it up to you. Thanks for leaving a nice rating even though it must have been a bummer to receive the swap in that condition, and thanks for hosting the swap in the first place--it was fun, and I'm glad to know about you now! ;)

Response: I was relieved when I saw your comment on Flickr that you liked it! I had such a block on what to send you, because the previous ATC I'd made for my last swap to you seemed to fit THIS theme so much better...I had a few false starts trying to do a card that had your fave flower violets on it without doing just another version of the previous one. Since I couldn't get out of that loop, I finally decided not to SHOW violets but wanted to still include your flower somehow... So I'm glad the literary (instead of literal!) reference sat well with you, sweet friend. :) I love our swaps...can't wait until next time!

Comment: Thanks for the ATC, stickers, ephemera, postage stamps, and all the other extras! The ATC IS very unusual, but I kind of like it.
Response: To me it's a really funny image, but I can understand how it might seem un-beautiful or even creepy to others! Sorry. :(

Comment: How amazing to see an envelope from the One and Only Paula F! First let me say that you have the most incredible handwriting...it is calligraphy! Beautiful ATC, the very essence of carnation pink, and then we must address the fab extras you sent along...I am so spoiled! Thank you for a wonderful swap experience, Paula...the first of many, I am sure!
Response: Yay! I am so glad it arrived safely...and yes, I hope it is the first of many swaps, dear D. I was so excited to finally sort of almost make contact with you in the real world after admiring you digitally from afar for so long. LOL xo

Comment: Thank you so much Paula for the beautiful little work of art. I love the image and the sweet little cat. Love, love the little chunky bits on the card...is that considered chunky glitter? Very nice embellishment.
Response: Yes, it's various types and sizes of embossing powder melted together with mica flakes! And some glitter for good measure! LOL. Thanks for being a great swap partner as always. :)

Comment: Lovely Paula! My B&W Gothic arch is beautiful! I have a rubber stamp of the same image of Ophelia and I love it. You make the most amazing backgrounds for all your work. I think that's what really sets your things apart. I wish I could do the same! And I love all the extras you sent me. Nothing more fun than adding to my stash of goodies! Love it when you are my partner! Cheers, Laurie
Response: Cool! Did you get your Ophelia stamp from my friend Estelle at Stampsmith? :) Thanks for the encouragement, sweet Laurie--I appreciate your words *and* your art!

Comment: Paula, your ATCs are always so nice (keepers), The techniques that you use always make me wonder. So I have to ask on the Bugs card the finish is crackled, is that a medium that you purchased or a varnish that you break up yourself once its dried??
Response: Hey, thanks for the nice comments! The medium I used to get the crackle is Rock Candy Distress Crackle paint. (Funny that you ask--I hadn't used it since making that card, but I pulled it out and used it again earlier today.) Let me know if you try it--it is fun to work with!

Comment: Everything from the beautiful envelope decoration to the great selection of ATCs was fantastic- Thanks so much!! :) (It did come $1.51 postage due though. I don't mind, but just an fyi for your next time!) ;)
Response: Oh no! That's terrible! (And confusing!...I use a postage scale and add extra postage if I'm near the boundary. I can't understand being THAT much off!) I will get an envelope off to you right now with stamps in the amount of the postage due, with my sincere apologies! Thank you for telling me about this, and for being a sweetie about the swap anyway!

Comment: I love that you created the card in all black. So many of these ATCs have not hit the mark on the "90 % color" rule. As for mine, I repurposed a black greeting card cover, used some die cuts in cardstock and a glossy black paper. I decorated with black wash and some black pearl gems. The design was floral.
Response: So cool! Wish I could have seen yours. We should have a Flickr group or something for these really interesting themed swaps. :)

Comment: NOT pleased these weren't protected by sleeves and left to wander loose in an envelope. With the mail being as it is I ALWAYS put any atc, mine or others', in sleeves and enclose them in a note card
Response: Oh no! Sorry you were disappointed. I actually sent you the cards just as the original artists had sent them to me--I believe one or two that I sent you did have sleeves. I am new at swapping and didn't realize that some people strongly prefer that everything have sleeves. Thanks for calling that to my attention. I've made a note of that now.
