I've used the lovely PTU artwork of Lady Mishka. I bought it at PTE but I don't know where she's selling at right now.

This is a PTU kit called Breakfast Fun by Me. Get it at PMTw/S.
Breakfast Fun kit is now FTU. Get it HERE.

The mask is Vix_Mask174, by Vix PSP.

Font used is Smiley Monster by Kevin & Amanda.
