Native- FTU

I've used the lovely PTU artwork of Elias Chatzoudis. You can purchase his art HERE.
This is an FTU kit called Thanks, by myself. Visit my blog to get it HERE.
The mask is by Binty but since I altered it, it is included in my supplies, which are for personal use only and can be downloaded HERE. Add the mask to your mask folder.
Font used is Goombella.
