Good morning everyone,
I am really quite late with my PCD DT card today, as our new challenge started this morning already. I had major problems making this card, I had a great idea in my mind but that never came to fruition unfortunately. The whole card really came into being because of an accident. I was going to print off the lovely Ulysses Butterfly as a whole, but my computer managed to print it too huge to fit on the page twice in a row. At first I wanted to throw the print away and start a third time, but then I thought it might also work with part of the butterfly. And actually, after cutting away all the panels in the butterfly and backing it with glitter paper, I was really quite happy with that element. Problem was, how to proceed and make a complete card out of it. To my mind, it never really came together. You be the judge:
Oh, almost forgot, our theme this week is "Be Thankful", me being thankful that I managed to squeeze out this card after all, even if it is a little late ;)

A beautiful card Ciska - the butterfly is awesome! Thank you for joining us at the ITP "Pink and ONE other Colour" Challenge. However, there seems to be more than One Other Colour on here!

You're right Sylvia-Anne, I thought there was only one extra colour, I don't know how I managed to overlook green in the DP!
