For today's TLC Joan asked us to use a very large element on our cards, combined with a very small one.
I used a Sizzix Daisy die for my big element - it always seems to dominate the card because of its sheer size. And I added a little ladybird - with the colour contrast it has extra impact for its size.
5 3/4" square base - old MME paper over-stamped with IO Greenery in Peeled Paint. I sponged the edges with Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo.
Leaf is Spellbinders. I might add some stitch lines or something, I tried embossing them and sponging them, but embossing made them so fragile that they just tore. I know they need a little something, but I was doing well to get a card made at all today...
Daisy is cut from Basic Grey paper and sponged a bit with Scattered Straw. The second layer is folded a bit along the crease lines and popped up on foam, and I used Flower Soft for the centre. Sentiment is DeNami.

Oh, those BIG elements countered with the little RED ladybug. I love this card with the die cuts, Sabrina. (Here they are not ladybirds, but ladybugs. We have some in our upstairs bath now. The seem to favor the west side!)
