AECP Level 1 Final Challenge - Feminine

For the second part of my Level 1 Challenge I had to make a set of Feminine cards using the same components that I chose for the Masculine set. 

As a reminder I chose to focus on Easy Die Cutting Techniques, Easy Ink Blending Techniques and Let It Shine.

The cohesiveness between the sets is reflected in the same dies and sentiments (font) chosen,  and there are 2 colors in common - the turquoise and silver.  I think this helped to really create a sense that they are 2 separate sets but still could be given together as one gift.

 

If you want more details about how I created these sets please refer to my previous post here:  

I also created a video tutorial on ink blending, embossing with die cuts and faux watercoloring.  You can find that video on my YouTube channel AH Crafts.

The final part of our challenge was to use a recycled element on the cards or as part of the gift packaging.  My recycled element was used for the gift packaging.  

I took these plastic boxes that some stamps sets came in

many, many, MANY - did I say MANY? years ago.  Probably circa 2006 or so.  In addition to the plastic boxes, there is also a sheet of acetate that the stamps came on.  (Hard to see in the photo) - Many moons ago the stamps I bought came on acetate in these boxes and I transferred them to CD cases.  I still had those boxes and acetate in my craft stash.  So I cleaned and scrubbed to get the tape that was left on the boxes off and I used the acetate for a shaker gift tag.

I haven't added a sentiment because I do not know the occasion for the gift yet.  I may not add a sentiment to the front but rather a note on the back of the shaker tag.  

Let me know your thoughts.
