    Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
    Q: iccrafter asked: "I have heard of a method to make a background using plastic wrap and an iron. I would love to know how to do this. Do you stamp before or after or not at all?"
    A: I think you are talking about the Hot Card technique. It was a technique challenge last spring. We have some great Hot Card samples in the gallery.
