Baby Bug Fleur-de-lis Mesh (by request)

I posted a full page version of this fleur-de-lis mesh a few days ago. I sometimes do meshes in both full page size and a baby bug size but I created the full page and stopped with that on this design. There was a comment from a reader who has the baby bug and that made me realize that I hadn't done a smaller version - so here it is!



I decided to do my test cut using a busier patterned paper this time. The paper is two sided so it gives me a couple of options.



The cut worked out perfectly - here is the center on the mat after I removed the border.



Here is the border cut after I took it off the mat - the patterned paper makes it even more interesting.



This is the opposite side of the paper - a much more subtle gray design instead of the bold flowers.



Here is the full cut on the bold patterned side...



and on the more monochromatic side.



Once again there are some unusual "leftovers" on the mat.



Above and below are two more views of the mesh design on each side.



I was interested to see how a large patterned paper would work with the cut but I ended up really liking the softer more monochromatic side - particularly when I layered it on another background paper with a design in shades of gray.



I think this would make a lovely background for a page - I am just looking around for the right photos.
