Second attempt at AI agate BG

This attempt was my second and I didn't care for it at first---you see my result on the upper left side. So I decided I'd take some BF to it and figured out that really didn't do a thing except color the BG a pretty pink color (which is why I included it--it show that you may can get lighter shades when using only BF on a dried BG--I may be naive in showing this too, since I have no experience with AIs--but thought I'd show anyways).
The bottom picture is after I applied more AIs/BF and pounced ONLY.
AI set: Cottage Path----which contains colors, "currant" (red), "slate" (grey), and "meadow" (green)
TFL!
