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).
 
 ~PTU kit by Kissing Kate called Purple Frost which you can find HERE.

 ~The artwork of VeryMany, you must have a license to use this art which you can get HERE.
