You can use a tube of choice.
I've used an FTU tube by Ronne Barton which was available at MPT but is no longer there.
This is a PTU kit called Bluetonic by Seven’s Scraps. You can visit her blog for links to her stores HERE.
The mask is WSL_Mask359, by Wee Scot Lass. You can get it HERE.
Font used is Aquarelle.
