This tutorial is of my own creation and any resemblance to any other tuts is purely coincidental. This tutorial is for personal use only, using it for monetary gain is against our TOU's.

Supplies Needed:

~Gimp (any version will do).

~Forest Hideaway PTU scrapkit by Tasha's Playground which you can get HERE.

~Tube of choice. I used the artwork of Myka Jelina, you must have a license to use this art which you can now get HERE. 

~Mask of choice. I used WSL mask 363 which you can get HERE.

~Font of choice. I used Miss Le Gatees.

Let's get started!!!!!
