Today, as the winner of Flashback Friday 5.0, I'm playing along with the blog hop celebrating the 20th Flashback Friday Challenge.
You should have arrived from Lynn of Crafty Linby, the winner of Flashback Friday 4.0 (if not, make sure you head back to Flashback Friday to start at the beginning).
The 20th Challenge is to re-post your first every black & white card design. Mine dates all the way back to November 2007 for a challenge to let the designer paper shine.
This pretty much exemplified my card-making skills back then … pretty paper … piece of ribbon (or in this case velvet rick-rack) and circular element … hey, it still works pretty well.
Your next stop on the hop will be Yvonne of Do More with Less … the winner of Flashback Friday 6.0.
Remember there's a big stash of goodies up for grabs for one lucky commenter. Here's a peek …
Oh how beautiful!
Ahh this is so sweet…
I think that is a pretty card…you have gone back a long way to find that. How much fun. 🙂

This is a lovely card you have posted. I like to take part in the Flashback Friday Challenge as it shows me how far I have come in crafting and it’s nice to see how far others have come as well. Thanks for the chance of taking part in the Blog Hop. Off to visit another blog. Best wishes, Kym xxx

Beautiful card, Stef, and 2007, you always do it first! Just so much fun! Have a great evening.

I think your card is cute with ric-rac as an accent. I have a flashback of a dress I had as a little girl. It was yellow with black ric-rac.
