It was so much fun to play around with different shades of red and red-orange for this particular layout, blending them into a wonderful mixed media page.  I started out with a wonderful red, cream and light orange chevron striped paper, then added some modeling paste through a stencil.


Next I spritzed on some Tattered Angels glimmer mist in red tulips around the corners.  While that was drying, I started painting white heavy gesso onto a chipboard frame and then heating it with a heat tool to make it bubble to add texture.


I cut the "cherish" die cut out with my Silhouette Cameo, as well as the mini envelope, heart and poppies.  I shaped the poppies with my McGill paper flower shaping tools, inked the edges of the poppies for more dimension then glued the layers together, adding sweet little black gems for the centers.


I also folded and glued the envelope together and then tore a strip of scrap paper with a white lace print on it to place on the edge of the paper to add more lightness to the layout.  Once everything was dried, I started arranging my elements, stamped some images in black ink and then glued everything down.


I also typed up some journaling with my We R Memory Keepers Typecast typewriter and inserted the note into the envelope.  I finished up by adding some gems, wooden buttons and a brad to the layout.
