Christmas card: Cats on a cold winter porch

September 21, 2020 by Sandy Allnock 4 Comments Filed Under: Copic Advanced

You’ve heard about that hot tin roof. Now, its winter companion: cats on a cold winter porch!

Every once in a while, I create a card that, well, it has some challenges… This one had filming issues with a few sections just disappearing, but also, I had to keep adjusting the colors to make the kitties stand out!

Supplies for this project are linked at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no cost to you.

I had started with one vision, basing my background on a front porch that I found on the interwebs. Watch the crazy process, and scroll down on this post to see an easier card with this stamp set that got posted a week ago!

You can see I had to add snow on their heads; ha! They were just blending right into that door. I could have made lighter kitties to avoid that, but didn’t think of it at the time I started the coloring.

Fortunately for Christmas cards, I can add snow – and nobody gets lost in the details that didn’t work out!

I recently created this video for the MFT channel with the same set – lots easier, and it comes with instructions in the voiceover. Ha!

An extra video – created recently over at MFT:
