When you go to ink your letters or chipboard, don’t forget to get into the small spaces between! It is relatively easy to do and makes the project look finished.

You can do this by using several everyday items that are found in your bathroom. I tend to keep some Q-Tips in my scraproom now to use to get into the crevices. If you moisten the Q-Tip just a little bit it can make the ink look smoother and you can avoid the dark edges. (Alot of the times, I like it dark and grungy!)

When I want a softer ink look on my project, I reach for the makeup sponges. The small triangle sponges that you find at the makeup isle in your local drugstore. I just rip a small piece of it off and use it to apply my ink. It always gives such a nice, soft effect.

Finally, for those tiny holes in your alphas grab a handy dandy toothpick. Just roll it in some ink and poke it through the little hole. Voila!
