MFT Card Challenges: Inspiration Friday

The chevron has long been the darling of design. Its strong angles and interlocking V shapes make a big impact. Dress it up in unexpected colors, and it's all kinds of magic!

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

Julia makes a statement with the Four Way Chevron Cover-Up Die-namics in a pretty color combination. I love how her stark sentiment on vellum still allows the chevron design to shine.
