Supplies
Chipboard
Craft ink
Piercing tool

Step By Step
Step 1.
Apply craft ink to chipboard by swiping pad. Be sure to cover the edges, too. If you can't get into the corners, try an eyeshadow applicator!
Step 2.
Apply more layers of ink to achieve good coverage.

Use a piercing tool to poke holes around edges of chipboard. You can use a tempate for even spacing.

Connect the holes with the white gel pen to create a faux stitched look.
