Sue:
Very nicely done. I've never done just an outline before, do you assemble the whole design over the outline first and then glue it to the card or piece it together as you go?

Hi Gail, Thanks for the compliment. I piece it as I go. I start out by using a piece of parchment to copy the design I want to do. I do it in pencil, then I can turn it over and rub onto the card to get the outline. I usually double the strips of quilling paper, just to give them extra strength. Where there are curves etc, I try to get the curve made before I try to glue it down. I have found that it works better to put the glue on the quilling paper rather than drawing a line of glue onto the design. I was also lucky to find an eraser that is specially for removing adhesive. I use that to clean up any stray glue marks. This eraser is so good that it will remove doubled sided tape without a mark! I am in love with it. I hope that explains. I have used this technique for a few different designs. I think it is quite effective.

Sue:
Thanks for the explanation. Studying it up close, I thought how you explained might be how you did it, but I wasn't certain. I think that doubling the strips also makes it show up better. I'll have to look for one of those erasers at the art supply store...sounds brilliant.
