I made the herringbone background with strips of dsp scraps in black & white, and just stamped the image in versafine black ink. I added a sentiment from Melanie Muenchinger's Hoppy Birthday set which seemed to work perfectly with this image since it's called "pogo." I added some Viva white pearl pen accents on the scalloped punched sentiment border, and added a little snippet of knotted ribbon to the corner of the image.
That's my take on the black & white challenge :)
Make it a great day!

I sure hope you are lucky again this time, Carol! That is one fantastic background you have created here. I have yet to try the Viva pearl pen, but it looks super. Keep warm, as that wind is whipping!
What a cutie this little guy is! Love this in the black and white - and the herringbone makes it pop!
