There are various shadow box collage artists that inspired this creation. I made this for a co-worker of mine. She received her master's degree in May and she finally obtained a great job in Philadelphia and is loving it. Almost everything I used to create this was a Stampin' Up product. It turned out better than I thought and it has inspired me to create more of them to give as holiday gifts.
After seeing this collage created by Connie Tumm, I immediately knew that I want to give something similar to my nephew and his wife. The wedding colors were purple and silver and the invitations were very similar to the DCWV metallic paper so that was my starting point for colors. The square to the right of the silhouette couple is a part of their invitation with their initials in it and I just added a small pearl accent in the center. I absolutely love how this turned out. There are so many elements that were used to create this I can't remember them all. The finished piece is framed in a black shadow box frame that I picked up at Michaels or Joann's. It came in a set of 3 frames. I couldn't get a good picture of it in the frame because of the glass.
This challenge was way out of my comfort zone. I don't think I've ever made a collage card and I enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone for this challenge. It was pretty easy once I realized that I had the stamp set called "Friendship's Journey". Most of the work was already done for me. I did create the collage on the background layer but I kept things very soft and muted with the colors and I think that helped a lot.
