Black and White Flashback Friday

I really like playing along with Flashback Friday - its fun to search back and find the "first" of certain cards or projects you've made and see how far you've come.  The latest challenge is to show off your first black and white card. http://flashbackfridaychallenge.blogspot.com/2012/02/flashback-friday-200-celebration.html

Here's mine from October 2010:


A black pearl DL simply finished with some gorgeous ribbon (reminds me I have a BIG roll of that so should use it more as I love it!!) to which I added a few black pearl accents.  I matched these by creating a line of white liquid pearl drops on the opposite edge of the card.  A simple "thinking of you" die cut sentiment finished the card.  For once, my "first" isn't so awful, and I could see me actually reusing this design now!   What does stand out though is how RUBBISH my photography was back then!!!

This is the 20th Flashback Friday challenge and in celebration Amy who runs the challenge all on her ownsome (with a guest designer for each challenge) has decided to very generously offer a prize package of 20 items to match the 20th challenge ($95 worth!!!)   How generous is that?!?!?!   All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is hop along with Amy and the past GD's and link up your own first B&W card.  So go get a coffee, enjoy the hop and dig out your B&W creations and all this goodness could be yours.... 


....darn I shouldn't have told you that, now you might win it and not me!   Good job I'm a generous soul....
