Tea-Rex Card by Nakaba Rager

ParTEA Rex! 

This adorable card by Naki today will make you laugh!  She used our cute new dino holding tea from our Tea-Rex Stamp Set for the image. She colored him and cut him out with the coordinating Tea-Rex Die Set. Then she made a hilarious sentiment by paring the "TEA-REX" words from this set along with the "Par" from the word party from our Naughty Newton Stamp Set  to make a "ParTEA-Rex! So funny!

For her card background she used our Sunscape Stencil to create the grey rays and added some birthday confetti with embossing paste and our Confetti Stencil. She also added a party hat onto the dino using a hat die cut from our Balloon Shaker Die Set!

This card is so unique and fun for a birthday party! Thank you for the smiles today, Naki! If you like this project you can see more of Naki's work  you over on her blog, Notes from Naki. Stop by and say hello!
