It adds so much dimension to to the layout.
Sometimes I am faced with pieces that are very light weight or skinny and hard to hold on to while I am trying to ink the edges. So I came up with this technique on how to do it more easily.

I grab my handy dandy Club Scrap® grid ruler (14x3) , my cut apart from the gorgeous Bookshelves March kit, and lay it out with just the edge over the ruler and then lightly brush the edge with ink.
I love how this technique keeps the paper from bending and moving while I am inking the edge.
It really is amazing when you look at these pieces side by side, what a difference the inked edges make.
Hope you enjoyed this little tip :)
Thanks for coming by.



Clever clever girl.
ReplyDeleteGreat tip Julie! Thanks - Connie
ReplyDeleteYou are so smart! Solving another scrapping dilemma!! I'm going to use that! I don't usually take the time to ink the edges of anything (because I'm messy!) but I think I'll give it a go when I get this new kit. Because it aleady looked aged, I bet it can take a few mistakes! thanks, Julie!
