If you've followed my VK Design Company blog, you know that I haven't been too diligent in posting in the past. But I've got high hopes and lots of great ideas and projects to share with you!
Today I have my 3rd Sneaky Peek for My Creative Time's 11th Release. We are featuring XL Label Borders - which coordinates PERFECTLY with the XL Label Die. This stamp set and die are SO versatile and can be used for many different projects.
I've been in the Halloween mood lately and have recently added some spooky decor around my home. I used the XL Label Die and XL Label Border stamp set to add a little spice to my black and purple decor.
I used SEVERAL of Emma's stamp sets together to complete my projects. I just love how well her stamps work together!
I used the Peachy Keen Stamps Funny Spider along with Emma's Small Talk for my spooky flower arrangement tag. I colored the spider in with my Copics (little trick: follow the same colors as on the stamp package and you can't go wrong!).
For my little Cookie Bag, I used XL Label Borders with Anyday Bingo & Crossword, Whimsical Calendar Days, and Build A Banner Kit. The XL Label Die was a perfect little treat bag topper!

This is my first time really decorating for Halloween and I've had a BLAST adding spookiness to my home. Here you can see a close-up of my spooky flower arrangement.
I used a black glittery rose bunch and single purple rose along with some purple fuzzy flower ball-thingies (LOL) and feathers. To add some sparkle, I glittered two small Styrofoam balls with Martha Stewart's Purple Sapphire and Black Onyx (first cover the Styrofoam balls with Mod Podge using a foam brush - no need to paint, the glitter covers REALLY well) and stuck them on lollipop sticks. Everything is stuck into floral foam that is easily removable from the urn so I can change out the arrangement for each season!
If you've enjoyed the Halloween decor you've seen here today, be sure to come back next week for more spooky decor!

I really wouldn't say this project is just spooky and I would say it was "spooky chic". Those colors are beautiful. Those flowers are beautiful. I must say there has been such a variety of projects today. I'm never disappointed on this blog hop.
