Grandad's Shed

Hi Folks
First of all thank you for the help with what papers to use with Promarkers, it was very helpful and I shall be trying a few different ones. And on to this card, Mum asked me to do a card for her Dad and this cute little stamp shouted 'use me'! My Grandad isn't the best DIYer, bless him, and recently tried to put a door on his shed, which doesn't quite fit the hole of the original door, I wish I had a photo to show you all! Sorry, I really don't mean any disrespect but it is quite funny, hence the writing on the little sign :)
I went abit overboard with my distressing too, but I think I may have got away with it! Right, he's going into a couple of challenges aswell:
CardsForMen 'Father's Day' (2nd card)
ILovePromarkers 'Bears'
LiliOfTheValley 'Sketch by Dawny' (2nd card)
Thank you for looking, take care folks.

I think that's brill. Love the distressing and everything. Thanks for taking part at I ♥ Promarkers this week.

p.s. if you're talking about which card to print/stamp your images to colour - Personal Impressions Premier Quality Smooth White is brilliant. I had massive problems until I found this one AND you can buy it from Clare.
