Selective colouring with paint.NET?

Is it possible using paint.NET?

I have a colour pic of my daughter - I'm trying to fade out the background (in B&W) and want her in colour.

I can't seem to be able to use both a colour and a B&W image on different layers-when I change the pic to B & W the coloured layer changes too - I've tried using the lock thing too. I was under the impression that you could layer them with the colour on the bottom and B & W on top then use the eraser to show the colour sections.

Help needed please.

TIA
