Maybe some very delicate strings of almost invisible beads dancing along the green? Just some ideas......
Love your technique and your workmanship. Almost makes me weep in frustration for the lack of finesse in my work!
Watching to see where you go with this...........
Thanks for the suggestions Suzie. I want do some more experimenting and try out some of your ideas. I just ordered some additional iridescent colors of Paintstiks that should come by the middle of next week. Maybe I can do some random shading on some of the FMQ leaves... I've also thought about adding more crystal seed beads to the tree... We'll see!
