Happy B-day with some Scrumptious Shoes...2S4Y

Hi there, I've been wanting to play around with these Scrumptious Shoes (and I mean SCRUMPTIOUS!) from Stampendous. And I also wanted to see which medium I like working with better, markers & water pens or prismacolor pencils with gamsol. I used both in this yummy shoe, can you tell which part is which medium?

This is based off of Kazan #8 sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You. There are some very beautiful takes on this sketch from the design team over there!

Here's Kazan's sketch:


And here's my take on it:


I've been taking DeeDee's lead on taking pictures of my work with props because it really does make it look more interesting! And not just a stark white background.
