The new book at The Library is Rupert Annual 1965. I have no recollection of reading any Ruper the Bear books or comic strips or TV shows but somehow I do know a song that goes' Rupert, Rupert the Bear, everyone knows his name...'! So I guess somewhere in the depths of my childhood I must have watched the TV programme.
Anyway, I thought the cover was a great inspiration to combine two of my card-crafting faves: bears and snow.
For my first card (top) I stamped the bear and sentiment, paper-pieced his outfit and coloured him in. I created the snow using stencils.

For my second card (above) I watercoloured using Lindy's Magicals powder pigments - although my watercolouring is dreadful, in real-life the shimmer from the paints kind of makes up for it. I added shading etc with a grey marker (I'm quite pleased with the footprints in the smow). and falling snow with a gel pen. The sentiment is from my new CCC holly set - I've used it a lot already , it's my new favourite.

Krafty Chicks fave stamp is the sentiment!

Beautiful cards, Marina. Rupert the Bear - that's a blast from the past! I remember my brother having these annuals many years ago. xx
I haven't a clue who Rupert is, but I do know a darling bear when I see one... or two!!! Darling cards, Marina! I sure hope I can play along!

This is the most divine Christmas card, Marina. I'm guessing you've linked up as a One Layer for the Just Add Ink challenge this week (it's not in your list)? Thanks for joining us again. x
