Heads In the Clouds | LMAC FreeStyle Collage No. 130

Hello LMAC and Hive members. I wanted to share with you my current freestyle collage. My theme involves a man and a woman with different views of the world. They both have their heads in the clouds. Beauty exists all around them. The man's thoughts of traveling to distant places burns in his heart. The female dreams of the beauty that exists in her own immediate time and space. She feels no desire to venture from her paradise.

The version of my collage is a "Freestyle". However, if you'd like to join in the regular contests, visit: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 235 - ✨35 HIVE in the Prize Pool!.

In preparing my theme, I uploaded all images into Canva, my design program, to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I began with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, duplicating, colorizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

Below are the images I included to complete my design. I used two images from previous contest rounds, together with several images of and flowers contributed to the #LIL my members.
