The Hattress | LMAC FreeStyle Collage - No. 121

Just like there are bad boys that attract females, so are there bad girls that attract males. For whatever reason, it feels to me that they would be opposites. But one never knows or understands the connection that individuals make and maintain.

One such bad girl refers to herself as "The Hattress". Dark and lovely, with an alabaster completion. Her strands, a deep burgundy, soft and fiery like cinnamon treats that melt in your mouth. Her eyes, a mysterious glow dripping fire. Black on red. Red on black. Those are her colors of choice.

A touch of gray for shade. And if anyone crosses her, shade they will get.

That she was a lady was no doubt. Placed upon a pedestal and worshipped by males. Respected by all, she carried herself well in polite circles. Not really a female's preferred headdress, but a female wearing a hat, especially a top hat, made for interesting conversation.

However, in the privacy of her business, she was all business. No play. Either you were in or out. No contracts. No haggling over price. A gentlewoman's agreement, sealed with a delicate handshake was enough to explore all the magic she pulled from her hat.

The Hattress. There are numerous places she can be found; if one cares to go looking.

I guarantee she'll be waiting.

For my current freestyle collage theme, I discovered an unusual photo of a female in a top hat. Her profession evolved from those exotic eyes. I decided to surround her with various admirers.

Below are my steps:

I utilized Canva, my design program, to blend the different type images. I leave with you my procedures which begin with a blank, white canvas. I then add layers of elements in accordance with my upgraded Annual Pro Membership that include tools to colorize, remove backgrounds, resize, filter, duplicate, and reposition items as required.

The images I included in my scene are listed below. The background frame I located was a perfect combination of red with black flowers.
