Make My Monday Challenge 6

The Make My Monday challenge this week is still on the vintage theme but this week they are asking for embossing and I've included both dry and heat embossing.  Background paper is by Basic Grey - a pad which I've had a long time and it has been overstamped with small stamps from Paper Artsy and Chocolate Baroque to give it a more vintage look.  The dry embossing is done with a Tim Holtz folder; the main image from Paper Artsy was stamped with Distress ink and clear embossed;  the border was cut using a TH Sizzix die and the ticket sentiment cut with a TH Sizzix die also.  I thought I'd go for the male vintage look this week for a change instead of using lace and flowers.
