My Liquid Love colored

Here's my colored version of 's My Liquid Love. I guess it's sort of a contest she's having, though it's not official.

OMG is that a background with a somewhat significant amount of effort in it? I hope it doesn't take the focus away from the water-heart too much. I tried to make the heart stand out without making it look like ice or something solid.

I really need help with shading. Any tips on that?
