Make it Cute WLSC mid month

 Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Mervi of   

Make it Cute
 

With 2 prizes each of two House Mouse stamps
 
 
Cute?  I didn't know what to do for my mid month card, so I went with digital stamps and found this little HoneyBee, who I love, but haven't used before, although I had him in 2017. Anyhow, I had some hexagon dies, and I decided on this digital image of a House dripping in honey for the background. However, I decided it would overwhelm him, so I added plain vellum over it to dilute the strong colour it has, then cut both with the die. They were attached with a spot of glue on each corner. 
 
I looked through more dies to see if I had one I could emboss, and this was the closest to a hexagon. It was embossed, the hexagon was attached, then I thought another hexagon for the sentiment, I stamped the sentiment, then thought, it needed some honey mess around the edge of the layer. I didn't mean for so much, but went with it. Both were added to the embossed card and attached to the base card.
 
Honeybee was cut in 3 layers with Silhouette. I then coloured him with DI's. I added some glitter pen to him and his wings. He was then added to the card, I decided he required some companions, so I found some bee stamps, coloured them and added glitter pen, fussy cut them and placed them onto the card.
