Cinnamon & Berries

Good morning, today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Love to Scrap and their theme is anything goes! I started back on to Christmas cards because you can never have too many of them.  I used Prisma/Copic markers for the basic colour and then shaded with Prisma Pencils. I'm really getting the hang of using them. I used Doodle Pantry's Cinnamon & Berries  and really like how the shading turned out on the cinnamon stickes. I need a little more practice with the berries and leaves. You can't see it in the photo but all of the snowflakes in the background and the berries have stickles on them!
