katerina Koukiotis says: shes so pretty mayumi and love love how you did the background love summer rain like that xoxo ~ Reply?

     Mayumi Ogihara replied to this: Thank you so much Kat ♡ See the little circles in the background? I attempted to use bokeh effect there and then I realized I'm using tan paper. Didn't look so effective so I stopped, lol. They kind of added some interesting texture than just flat green, so I decided to leave them. A happy little accident, as Bob Ross used to say ;)

Jenny Heidewald says: You can feel how nice and warm it is! Nice use of the green there, I think I might have to steal that technique. :) ~ Reply?

     Mayumi Ogihara replied to this: Thank you so much, Jenny! ♡ I'm happy with the green, too :D
