:confused: I'm working on a BoBunny chipboard book for my mom as a thanks. I've got the new 6" letters and I've covered them with paper, but I want to ink the edges for a softer look, how do I ink the insides? (ie: an "A") Thanks, I appeal to the experts. :confused:

Next time: try "inking the edges" before you adhere your paper.
Thanks for your help. I've tried a couple of the ideas, even inking before adhering, it's still hard to get in those small holes. Tsukineko daubers are even way too big. Q-tips seem the best I guess, but give a different look than the rest of the inking.
I use a small paintbrush to do this. I've used chipboard on lots of projects, and have a few small (and I mean TINY) paintbrushes that work really well. I just use either the re-inker, or dab the brush directly on the pad. I found that the natural bristle brushes work better, (you know the ones that have a cream-coloured bristle that feels almost a bit brittle? Like the stipple brushes that SU sells, but tiny?) This works best for me as you don't end up shredding q-tips and getting 'fluff' everywhere!
HTH!
PS the ink washes off with a little bit of dishsoap and water - unless it's stazon!
for those little spaces, i dip a fingertip into the ink pad and use a finger as a dauber. i never manicure my nails, so i'm not worried about inky nails though LOL
