For my Freestyle Collage No. 60, my theme is a mystical garden. Magic is in the air as an unusual female giantess visits the forest. Her father forbade her to wander away from his mountain. But she yearned for the valley and the fields, and all the wonders of nature. She is at peace among the animals and birds that dwell there. They flock to her, sensing the goodness that lies beneath her massive frame. All she desires a friend in which she can confide.
In preparing my theme, I included an LMAC original contest images. I love designing collages with landscape images. I've already decided which section of the image I will use in my theme.
LMAC original contest Image - Round 189
For the giantess, I located the perfect photo of a female humanoid. Together with my pure fractals and other images from the LIL, this scene will be unique. Below are the additional images I included:

Gull landing Contributed to the #LIL by @redheadpei
Red and black butterfly Contributed to the #LIL by @redheadpei

In order to blend the images, I utilize the design program, Canva. This program allows me though its upgraded Annual Pro Membership Subscription to accomplish numerous design features such as background removal, filtering, resizing, repositioning, duplication, and colorizing. I present my procedures here:
To a blank, white canvas, I add my brown web fractal.
If rendered on a transparent background, some fractals will display their full potential unless the background color is black. I switched to canvas color to black. See the difference. I then resized and duplicated the brown fractal to fit the entire screen.
Added female image.
Removed female's background and repositioned the image behind the brown fractal.
Added butterfly, moon, and birds..
Revised and repositioned butterfly, moon, and birds.
Added the landscape image.
Removed landscape image background, colorized, duplicated, and resized it at the bottom of the screen. Completed project.
Below is my completed project.
Thanks for your visit. I appreciate it. I hope you like my freestyle collage theme.
