March Card Club - Card #2 - stripy background with a long slim image

 For our second card we played with strips of decorative paper!!!  It was no holds barred as we created backgrounds with strips - some this way, others butting up to them, some overlapping, etc!!  I had printed some vertical and horizontal images to accommodate different orientations in the card design.  I left spaces in between the strips on the blue one and none on the green one.  I could have put them all horizontally and layered the image on that way was well.  SO MANY possibilities!!!!  Butterflies and ferns are from  CLKER.  The longest time was spent on deciding between options!!  Therese
