Tuesday's {Tip} Inking Corners & Tricky Places

Have you ever tried to ink the edges of a piece of shaped chipboard or some other piece? If you have, I am sure you found that trying to ink the small corners can be very hard and definitely messy! Even using the small cat eye inks or other tiny ink "spots" can be tricky and messy. Well, today I thought I would share how I ink those tricky places.

First, grab a Q-tip. I keep a supply of them on my craft table. I ink up one end of the Q-tip. I then use that to ink those tricky places. It works perfectly! I usually just have to use one end of the Q-tip, so I take my scissors, cut off the used end, and I save the opposite end to use another time. Here is a chipboard flower I inked this past weekend using my "inked" Q-tip. Definitely a neater look then trying to do it with my ink pad! I hope this tip has been helpful, and if you are wondering what the piece is I created this weekend, see Part 1 of my tutorial here. Part 2 will be posted on Wednesday. :) Have a blessed day!
