For my Freestyle Collage No. 56, my theme is a fantasy in the storm. I wanted to portray two girls caught up in the waves. As they struggled to return to shore, a cloudy figure in the skyline appeared. Trying to reassure her younger sister, Heidi was not convinced she could protect her. They had no idea the trouble waiting for them from afar as the vampire stood steady to pounce.
Sensing the girls were in grave danger from prayers sent by their parents, it didn't take long for an angel to appear. The words of wisdom and the light overpowered the dark evil.
In preparing my theme, I utilized a dramatic cave image I felt would be perfect for the storm and danger approaching.

To blend the images, I uploaded all into Canva to take advantage of my upgraded Annual Pro Membership Subscription.
Below are my procedures:
I started with a blank, white canvas.
Changed canvas color to black. Then added cave image.
Resized cave image to fill entire canvas.
Added Spiral5 Fractal for effects.
Added vampire.
Removed vampire background; repositioned it, then added dark fractal clouds.
Added girl image. Removed background.
Duplicated girl image. Repositioned them in the waves.
Added an Angel for protection of the girls. Resized and repositioned it
Resized and repositioned angel in the wave fractal as if she's appearing.
