Paper Smooches fun

I don't have many Paper Smooches stamps (ok, really I only have one, but I have several of their free digis), but I have always loved the cuteness of them and wanted more. I figured since I am trying to watch my budget more I would through caution to the wind and try out for their Guest Designer spot for Novemeber. I really love the little bee and it became the foundation for my card. While looking through their digis I got the brillant idea to see how many I could merge together. Here's my card, can you figure out how many I used?

I used four (did you get it right?). I used the bee twice by flipping it and making the second one a little smaller, the heart came from the I {heart} you sentiment, the word "bee" came for the bee sentiment (and I copied the "b" and then flipped it to make the "d"), and the word "love" came from the Love You Bunches sentiment. I had lots of fun piecing them together. I decided my bees need to flying in the sky so I cut some white c/s and sponged three shades of blue onto it and then flicked water onto it to create my sky. To ground my card I used banners. I used washi tape to create the red banner to pull in the color of the heart, printed my pieced together sentiment onto white c/s, and created the yellow one to mimic the color of the bees with my copics. After putting the banners on I went to my sewing machine and added the zig-zag stitch to anchor them. To add the the cuteness of the bees I added glitter the wings and goggle-eyes for the ubber cuteness. To make sure my little girl bee looked like a girl I added the eyelashes. I then coated the heart with some glossy accent.

I made a second card. Actually this was the first card, but I didn't like how it turned out. I thought I would share so ya'll can see that my first ideas aren't always the best for me :)
