Touch the iron on the card and lift off. If possible, hold the card rather than leaving it on a flat surface. This
gives you more control and
helps to prevent leaving an outline of the baseplate in the wax.

Touch the iron on the page then lift off. When the iron’s edge touches the card it leaves a distinct
outline in
the wax.
Hold the iron at a sharp angle and touch an edge on the card. To make longer lines
run the iron along its
edge.
Hold the iron at a sharp angle and place the curved edge on the page. Use this technique to draw broad freehand
strokes.
Hold the iron like a pen and draw with the tip.
