Comment: She promised two times to resend but still nothing. I can not believe that an envelope with only an ATC is 3 times lost in the mail.

Comment: Cool paper, thanks.

Comment: What kind of fabric was the owl stamped on, it felt like flannel! Loved all the extras. Where did you get the milar ribbon with holes in it?
Response: the ribbon was from an etsy seller called Gauche Alchemy--all kinds of awesomeness! the fabric was a watercolor saturated baby wipe, believe it or not...you spray/pour/smear colors to blend, then dry it using an iron (or just airdry between paper towels). i'm glad you liked it :)

Comment: Lovely card! What type of textile is that you stamped on? It looks kind of like a dryer sheet (which I reuse in my crafts! LOL). I really like the owl stamp too. And thanks so much for all the extras! I'll put them to good use! blessings, Gypsy
Response: thank you :) the fabric was a watercolor saturated baby wipe, not unlike the dryer sheet...you spray/pour/smear colors on the wet wipe, then dry it using an iron (or just airdry between paper towels). i'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Hi Shannon, Well considering you flaked on your own partner in the captured fairy jar swap, I'm not feeling particularly inclined to angel since you were flaked on too. If you do decided to make good on your commitment to swap with your partner, let me know and I may consider angeling for you. Why haven't you rated her appropriately? Thanks for your understanding. Laura
