Does size matter?

I only ask because this card folds to 4" square.  It required as much work as a larger standard size but a larger version would not work as well, at least I don't think it would.

It started because I wanted to use a stencil for dry embossing, spent a very happy hour or so looking through all my metal stencils.  Selected one or two to play with deciding on this one first.  I must have had it about 15 years and is one of several from the Dutch company Avec.  Not fancying digging out my light box ran it through my big shot getting a really good impression.   

Next the embossed part was fussy cut.  There are times when I am exceedingly grateful that this is a technique that I have learnt and practiced.  There was a time when the work of people who understood how to cut filled me with awe, now my results are quite acceptable.  The inner fold of this card has been sliced in half with my trimmer.

Now the stencil placed back over the image, Picked Raspberry applied with Inkylicious Dusters.  Remembering the new Cardz 4 Galz #140 challenge is Pink and Brown the scheme was decided.   Brushed Corduroy brushes over the remaining inner fold to give it a brown tone.

Crafters foam in pink and brown die cut with Craft Box dies.   The flower shapes were just rolled in a ball and rubbed between my palms ball end tools used to work the petals before the flowers were built.  The leaves were simply glued onto the card without any additional work.
