Anyone? I have the same question!!

How do you make it look so perfect?

[I'm Hooked]

I often just use a dauber and daub whatever color I want. My photos did not turn out very well (due to the light) but here are some that I've done:
SBVC55; 12x12; Indiana 2008; Bingo by I'm Hooked at Splitcoaststampers

I also use Americana paint to paint them:
12x12; January 2009 Calendar by I'm Hooked at Splitcoaststampers

Or I also glimmer mist them:
can't find a photo sorry

hope this helps

I paint them with Acrylic paint, cover them with paper or glitter, add primas or other embellishments, or I have even seen it run through a Cuttlebug Embossing folder! I also like to stamp on pieces and add a layer of Diamond Glaze aka Crystal Effects.

Acrylic paint is acid free?? Is the same as Craft Paint?

I use craft ink on mine and then heat set it.

Do you put it on Scrapbooks or Cards? I do scrapbooking. I dont want my pics to get ruined.

If you are asking about the craft ink, craft ink is actually preferred for scrapbooking because it resists fading better than dye ink. Just make sure you heat set it so it's dry.

Oh I think misspoke. I do not mean SU Craft Ink, I mean the Paint in the bottle called Craft Ink, Its Paint, Not Ink.

You can also use Designer Paper and glue it on to Chipboard. Then use a file or Sand Block to rub off the edges.

Here are some ways to use Chipboard:
