Looks like you’re enjoying wet-on-wet techniques quite a lot, great job so far! I’d consider trying to create some dimension by adding some layering to your designs next! It really helps to have a fan or dehydrator so that you can get a nice crust on your icing between layers.
I love your ambition to try wet on wet so early in your practice! They look great and I especially like the wreath. I agree with the other commenter that you should thicken your icing a bit. If you want to use the same consistency for outline and flooding, it should be a hybrid consistency. When you stir it and lift the spoon/spatula, it should run off slowly. Keep up the good work!

Make a slightly thicker icing for outlining, and then fill (=flood) the inside with thinner icing like you did. You’ll have neater shapes, more control and less spillage.

Great work and effort! Such variety of shapes. Maybe curve candy cane loop in slightly. Keep practicing with a careful steady hand. love how you put white horizontal lines across entire cookie past tree

The icing you used looks pretty thin, so you might have to thicken it up to create different textures. [Here’s a resource that might help with that ](https://www.grayduckbakes.co/blog/my-favorite-cookie-decorating-tips-and-tricks)
