Below is a sample card that I have created for this month's "Far Away Places" challenge.

I began with a pre-folded kraft card base 5 x 6.5.  I printed out the gorgeous collaged background digital design paper from the Roads Less Traveled paper pack at 8 x 10.  I cut out the portion of the paper that I wanted to use.  I chose to cut the paper so that the red would serve as a backdrop for my image.  The image of the girl is from the Snow Maidens collage sheet set.  I fussy cut her from the background so it would appear that she was walking across the map behind her, and adhered her with pop dots for dimension.  I cut out small images from another paper that I'd printed from the same digital paper pack, and framed them with postage stamp frames, and adhered with pop dots.   I placed the stamp with the New York theme so it would appear that she was looking at it and making her decision on which of life's paths she should travel.  I found the sentiment on google.  I added more details such as the tiny buttons, and some glass beads around her feet.  Thanks for looking!
