2019 Easter Cards

What do you do when you foundation pieced blocks on tear-away that doesn’t tear?  You cut them up and use them for card backgrounds.  At some point I made a stack of blocks from left over strips.  I used some tear-away I picked up at the Madison Expo show.  I had a stack of blocks before I attempted to tear the foundation away.  When I did that, I found that it was impossible to tear away the foundation without tearing out the stitches.  My solution was to throw the stack of blocks in the orphan block box and walk away.  I recently found those blocks and decided they would make good backgrounds for Easter Cards.

I didn’t really have good Easter colored cardstock in the house, so I first made a sample using a black cardstock.  I quickly realized that a white bunny against black cardstock just looked way too much like the Playboy bunny.  So I actually went out and bought some cardstock.  I went to Michaels and bought a package with several colors in it.  OMG is this cheap, thin cardstock.  For what I am doing with it, it doesn’t matter.  I can only think other people have struggled to make this cardstock do what they want it to do as it is the weight of construction paper.

The bunny is simply matte finished vinyl cut with the Silhouette Cameo.
