Winter's Candy!

I've seen this cookie in my mind all winter and finally took the time to get her out. Background is airbrushed dark green and stippled white on a bare cookie. Stem, holly leaves and pine needles are died and hand painted fondant. Cardinal is hand panted and formed fondant with a candy crystal eye. Holy berries are two kinds of candy. Snow is RI and powder sugar as well as painted white .

Love this Kim!!! Awesome work

OK, this is great, but I'm trying to sort out which of our four listed techniques (below) are on this cookie:

• royal icing transfers
• fondant or gumpaste elements
• SugarVeil^® or other edible lace elements
• sprinkles, dragées, or other storebought candies
• stenciled areas or elements
• stamped areas or elements
• wafer paper, frosting sheets, edible gold/silver leaf, or other edible paper
• homemade candy, such as melted clear mints, sugar syrup boiled to various stages, modeling chocolate, etc.
• isomalt
• luster dusts
• painted areas or elements, using extended dusts or food coloring
• hand-drawn areas or elements, using edible marker
  
  

Airbrushing and royal icing effects (other than transfers) do not count for this challenge. So I see fondant, handpainting, sugar beads, and candy for the eye?? Is that correct? Thanks.

Sorry, yes in my description I mentioned more than was on the list. I used fondant elements, store bought candies (as holly), painted areas using food coloring, and dusting with confectioners sugar, as well as candy crystals for eyes.
