This particular little collage was chosen because I wanted one that would seem to both "blend in" with the pattern on the paper, and yet with the solid background, serve as a focal point on its own. So it's backed with a piece of dark green cardstock with lots of white dry-brushing around the edges, and popped up a bit with some foam tape...
These little craft store flowers are the closest I could come to matching the flowers in the collage...
...and a peek at the inside...
