FM 182: Happy Haunting!

Hello, stampers! At the Friday Mashup challenge blog, they have a very cool challenge called "In a Galaxy.  They provide you with 2 different tutorials on how to make a "galaxy" background.  I watched them both.  They were both so cool, that I decided to give it a try.  However, I had limited time to actually make the card and get it uploaded before the challenge closed. Plus, I didn't have easy access to my paints.  So, unfortunately, my card was made with my reinkers not paint. Bummer!
But, I did have lots of fun making this and plan to dig out those darn paints and give the "galaxy" tutorial a try at a later date. Any who....here's the challenge:

                                            
And here's what I made:



I used watercolor paper and followed the first tutorial of the 2 provided.  I also made a matching treat holder with the Fry Box Die. Colors are: Basic Black, and Tangerine Tango.
