Lilies for Easter

Hello Friends
I'm enjoying a little art time today and want to share. I colored this lily by Lasting Impressions with Panache for Easter cards. Pretty much they were colored identical expect the top card I used a cool gray C0 to halo the image and the bottom card I used a Y000 to halo the image.
I wanted to add the paper flowers, but in hindsight I wished I left them off and just let the floral coloring and texture of the background stand alone.

Copic colors used on both lily cards: E000, RV00, RV19, Y17, YG00, YG11, YG17.

This version I used a background technique from Technique Junkies Newsletter... the April 09 issue. I could control the softness with the background technique so it worked well with my finished image.
Off to run a load of laundry and play some more:)
