Camaro Card





Hubby asked me to make a retirement card.
No problem. I was going to use my trusty Classic Convertibles
or Classic Pickups stamp set and the 
They are having a challenge in conjunction with








He informed me the man has a 68 Camaro 
and asked if I have a stamp of that type of car.
I have that cool new to me old Mustang stamp
and the old Chevys in that convertibles stamp set.
No Camaro. 
Hmm......

A search online came up with a few options,
the best of which needed to be purchased  - for $99!
I then came across this little graphic,
but I have no idea where it originated. I kept being sent back 
to weird websites and pinterest when trying to locate the original.
So unfortunately I can not credit the original artist for the graphic.

I had hoped Stampin' Up! would make a series of realistic classic car
rubber stamp images like the Classic Convertibles and Pickups sets.
 No such luck. 

Anyway, moving on to the details of the card.

Stampin' Up! retired stamp sets used: 
Happy Retirement, Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (2009)
screw head, Nailed It stamp set (2017) 

Darice Diamond Plate embossing folder

silver embossing powder

Memento black ink

Versamark ink

red Prismacolor colored pencil

glitter pens, Office Depot

red, white, blue, black card stocks - Stampin' Up!


Silver glitter marker for the chrome
and touches of red over the colored pencil for shiny paint.

Doh! I forgot to add Crystal Effects to the headlights ! 
I maybe should have added screw heads to the corners
of the Camaro panel, too. It looks too bare to me now.




Silver heat embossed screw heads on the banners

  2. I love that embossing plate of yours! You've used it before and I've grown fond of it! I'm not what you'd call a car person at all but when I saw the thumbnail of your card, I thought you'd used the new Geared Up Garage stamp from SU which has a car very like this one. The way you've added in the embossing so it looks like your banners are screwed on is fabulous. Thanks for joining us again at Retro Rubber Challenge.
