So Blue- PTU

I've used the lovely PTU artwork of Suzanne Woolcott at Gorjuss. You can purchase her art and a license HERE.
This is a PTU tagger kit called So Blue by Heartfelt Perfections. You can visit her blog for links to her stores HERE.
I've used a Template #850 by Essence of Creativity. It can be downloaded HERE.
The mask is by Vixen, #404. Download it on her blog HERE.
My supplies are for personal use only and can be downloaded HERE.
Font used is Missed Your Exit.
