What is your favorite way to alter chipboard?

I used to paper mine a lot, but now find that I more often paint and/or mist them since I've been using more intricate pieces these days. I also love to crackle them. happy

run them through th cuttlefish bug between a embossing folder, then ad mist.

Or use distress ink on the folder before you use it.

Probaly ink, or crackle paint. I really don't like the naked chipboard.

If I used chipboard anymore it is usually inked or embossed...but I find myself using it less and less these days.

Really? I'm totally in love with the Dusty Attic laser cut chippies and want them all! LOL Been incorporating some in my pages the last month or so. Sure wish I'd had some sooner! Wink

I still paper mine, paint, ink and/or mist them. I haven't done crackle yet! Guess because it's not in my stash.

I mostly paint mine but I also love the way it looks raw too. The last time I used it, I covered it with paper to make my Christmas door hanger

I've done all the above mentioned methods...at the Basically Bare booth at CHA their make n' take was CB gears that you could try different things on & I really liked how using Smooch painted randomly around the edges then sprayed with Glimmer Mist looked

I LOVE the Aussie chipboard raw... And given the limited ability to get your hands on such treasures, I use what I have sparingly! Silly, I know. If I do anything with it, I usually mist or paint. Distress ink, I do that a lot too!

heat emboss, or crackle paint! Paint is a favorite of mine since I have hundreds of colors!

Covering with pp and sanding/inking them or just misting them. I like my chipboard naked too. affraid

I used to paper mine all the time and now I find I mostly paint them or use glitter for some bling.
