Totally Trash to Terrific Treasure 5.0 a.k.a T5 Due APRIL 5, 2018

bastcrystal. I see you used the stickers on the envelope. I do think you are the first to do that. I was very impressed with the cat card. Super work.

Thanks! This has been so much fun and it has REALLY stretched my art thinking. I'm having a hard time not wanting to keep all of them. lol Then I'd have to come up with more. I think my brain would go into overdrive and start smoking lolol. Oh the Starbucks mermaid looks much better in person.
 
Had to rub my brains together for this one ;-)

I think your Brains did an amazing job.
 
Finished all the backgrounds on my cards and just totally completed my first one.

I used Dove chocolate wrapper, woven bag from pet food, parts of cat litter bag and bread tie. Background was cut from an old envelope. Base card was a cornflake box.

Electric D, what did you use to color the pet food bag? I think any tips you have might help.
 
Love your cards, Marie! Your use of the trash is so-o-o clever! I think my favorite is the easel and stamp for a painting, but they are all so good, it's hard to choose.
 
Snowed in (!) so I've had time to finish 2 more cards :)

Thanks Nanvan! I was stumped for quite a while, then yesterday they just opened up.
