I am using my Seal card for the following challenges:

My first project today is a candy box I made using the new release Kite Flying Fhiona. It is a cute stamp set that contained many cute images. See the little cute Fhiona flying her kite. Of course the little cute cloud, birdie, butterfly, cheerful sun and her doggie are all included in this set. WOW, yep, all these images are all included. I made a candy box out of this stamp set and also using the lil bird image to use for the topper of those nuggets. (Tutorial of this box will be post in the next few days)

I wanted to show you I added some cotton on top of those little cloud images for a little dimension. I also added a punch border on the edge of the lid. (Click the picture to enlarge for closer view)

This is my second project for you today. Please meet my image - Teresa the Seal. Since this is a little cute seal image which reminds me of summer water, so I choose some light blue DP (circle bubble color) and added some buttons on the side.
