Here is the last one of these for now - I added four small hearts at the four compass points to make this lacy background.
Here is a photo of the mat after the cut is finished

Remove the outer area of the cut and the mat will look like this

The off cut you have removed will look like this - you could use this for another page

Work very slowly and carefully - this is quite a delicate cut, you will be able to remove the lace without tearing it if you take your time.

You can see my "super scraper" on the table - I use this to loosen all delicate cuts.

One more photo of the cut on a red background - I just love this heart!
