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.

    What a brilliant card Val - that TH embossing folder certainly works well and I'm sure any man who received this would be very pleased. I've just sent you an email about the TH e/f........

    Another lovely card from you Val... its always great to see a more "masculine" card especially for vintage so you have pushed the boundaries this week. Well done! Great to see you again at Make My Monday. Suzanne B
