Joanne,
  I've used small leaves in a small Ikebana style vase I have with a few
larger leaves thrown in. (Not huge leaves, but larger than the smalls).
I use some basic lancifolia leaves as a base, with some Pearl Lake
leaves, Kabitan, Hadspen Hawk, and Sparky for color contrast. As a
flower, I've added some fronds from a dwarf white astilbe (I think it's
an astilbe - could be dwarf goatsbeard). 
  I must say, for a truly novice flower arranger, it doesn't look half
bad!
  I've also liked some mini hosta leaves in a shot glass. (Tiny Tears,
venusta, Masquerade) Just for fun.

Diane
