Today's Tea Party is for Kavan in Rhode Island. He is recovering from some health problems, so we are going to send him some jokes because laughter is the best medicine. He loves basketball, so I've combined this dinosaur digi with a basketball digi. The dinosaur is a Kinda Cute Digital stamp and the basketball and net are from Craftin Desert Divas. I set up the scene with the T-Rex trying to reach down for the ball with his little arms, but the punch line of the joke is "Because They're Extinct." Silly, but I thought a 12 year-old boy might get a chuckle out of it.
I've combined this challenge with this weekend's Featured Stamper challenge. Our Featured Stamper is lisacurcio2001 and she has a wonderful and very large gallery. I found her dinosaur card and decided to give her paper towel technique a try. I think we've done it before maybe in a TLC challenge?
I remember because I liked the smooth Viva paper towels, but I did have one roll of patterned paper towel hanging around. Thanks for the inspiration, Lisa!

this is cute. My thought was "because their hands are too short". I'm sure Kavan will get a chuckle out of this card. Simply and elegant at the same time. Great coloring on Mr Dino..

Chuckle inducer for sure. Love the scene you set here and your coloring is fabulous. Great CASE too. I'm sure Kavan will adore this fun scene and probably roll his eyes at your "Dad" joke -- which, of course, I loved because I love "Dad" jokes. LOL. Fab card.

Yes - it was a TLC, and I had been inspired by one of Lisa's cards . This looks like such a super card for Kavan. I'm still trying to think of a joke to include in mine.

Your coloring of the dinosaur is great. The inked paper towel element gives wonderful texture to your card. So glad you shared the link to Lisa's technique video!
