How do you finish the edges...........

OK--today I have a tip.  I saw this at the show this weekend at a booth that sold custom name books which was super cool all on it's own--but when they showed this technique on how to finish the edges of chip board--I was SOLD!
Check out this super short video--you will be on line today placing an order for these pens!


I did a little research online and found the deco paint marker with chisel point at markersupply.com.  The price is right as well--$2.59 a color!  28 colors to pick from!  OMG a crafters must have.  You can also find them at Michael's in the raw wood section.  Be careful when you start the paint flow as it starts to flow very quickly.
Have a great day-

  8. Thanks for that tip, sometimes I want to do something with the edges and inking with a pad just doesn't work. This is a great idea.

  17. I have used this trick for quite a while. I find that I should do it BEFORE I finish the chip board as I sometimes skip off the edge and mark into the center of the piece. That would pose quite a problem if the piece was already covered with my paper. Thanks for sharing you shopping fun with us Bryan!
