MFT Card Challenges: Inspiration Friday

Crisp stripes lend a jaunty and playful feeling to design. Mix those stripes with florals and other patterns, and you've got a whole lot of inspiration!

I searched the web for a variety of images with stripes, and here is a look at a few of my favorite finds:
