PTI Make it Monday #3

2nd Post for the Day. Please click here or scroll down to see the Unity Stuck on You post.

Here is my card for the Make it Monday #3 from PTI. The challenge this time was to create a glitter strip on your project using scor tape. I was aware that we could do this, but had never tried it - as I am good at avoiding glitter, but this challenge was perfect to try this technique. I was totally inspired by Dawn's card that she made for this challenge, so did a similar card.

I used Fine Linen CS for my based, added two 1/4 inch strips of Scor Tape and added some chocolate colored glitter from Doodlebug Sugarcoating Glitter (I do not know the exact name of this glitter). Then I cut out the mat stack die #3 using PTI Patterned paper Dotty Biscotti. Added some layering with the 1 3/4" Limitless Layers and then used one of the tags from PTI Anniversary Download. Love these tags.. I added a small punched out butterfly in Raspberry Fizz to add some color to the Project.

It was fun doing this technique and for sure will give this a try again.
