A few weeks ago Beth Soler, Mixed Media Artist & Boss Lady of Rock Your Notebook, asked if I would like to work with one of her mixed media pieces. I was so flattered and honored that she would want ME to turn one of her beautiful textured mixed media pieces into a Junk Journal Kit that I squealed "yes" & awaited her scanned piece of art.
Look at this beautiful piece of art! I love it! I couldn't wait to dive into this project.
Beth and I talked back and forth about the Junk Journal Kit & what she wanted it to represent and some of the elements to be in the kit. She explained she wanted Butterflies & Cherry Blossom because they symbolize new life. She also wanted this to be a positive kit, a kit that would inspire the woman using it. The main quote she wanted was "She believes she could, so she did" This later became the title of the kit "So She Did". Another quote Beth picked is a quote from Helen Keller - "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope & confidence."
The next thing we discussed was a color scheme. With her beautiful art being on the dark side I knew I need to balance that out with a cream color. Beth asked for blue and pink to be the main colors. Blue & pink go so well together. They are a dynamic duo and I knew it would be perfect.
To make this work I wanted to make both pink and blue cherry blossoms. I know there is no such thing as blue cherry blossoms, but this is art anything goes!
Once I finished with the kit I showed it to Beth to get the OK before listing it to the shop. She loved it, even said she teared up seeing her own art in a journal kit.
