Simon Says have a Truly Scrumptious Paperplay with One Stop

Too many stamps and too little time!
And yet I can never seem to stop myself from buying more!  Does anyone else have this problem?
I have quite a number of Lili of the Valley stamps that have only been inked one time and still more that have never seen ink at all.  It must be a crime!  And one that I rectified with this make for a dear blog buddy's birthday.
I decided on this very unusual colour combo of chartreuse, aqua and burgundy because that was the colour of my lovely floral paper (by Prima I think) and coloured up LOTV's "Time for a Cuppa" with my Copics and Promarkers.  The sentiment is LOTV too and I added some buttons, brads, ribbons and flowers from my stash to give it some dimension.
I always like my tea out of glazed fine bone china and so does this little missy - thanks to my glossy accents!

I am entering my card into the following challenges:
Truly Scrumptious have a bingo challenge from which I have chosen the line "brads, flowers, buttons" and Paperplay and Simon Says both want us to use "buttons".  One Stop Craft is celebrating it's 3rd Blogaversary with a "3 is a magic number" theme.  Happy Birthday One Stop - I hope you like my three brads, 3 ribbon loops and three roses.
Hope all my matey's visiting the NEC this weekend have a wonderful time!  So sorry I couldn't make it!

It's not that we have a surplus of stamps, it's a shortage of time that is the problem! I have the same problem.

I love the colour combination, it makes a gorgeous card Lesley x

I am in the naughty line with you Lesley. I love the LOTV stamps. I don't own a one though. Every time I go to order them, I can't narrow my choice down to match my checkbook and end up with nothing. If they were digital, I know my file would be full. This is one I wanted for my daughter too! You did her justice with this beautiful card.

Stunning card Lesley. Love your adorable image and the combination with the Design papers is beautiful.
And yes, I recognize your story about the stamps.I don't wanna know how many I have and the number of stamps I only inked one time.
Hugs Marianne
