PostHeaderIcon Biatchitude Tutorial


This tutorial was written by me on 8/6/11. Any resemblance to other tutorials is a coincidence.

2) Scrapkit of Choice. I'm using the PTU kit Drama Beeotch by Mystical Illusionz, available at Scraps & The City.
3) Missy Tag Template 269, available here.
4) Mask of choice. I used WeeScotsLass Mask 258, available here.
5) Font of Choice

1) Tramages, Tow the Line
2) Eye Candy Gradient Glow (optional, used on my name)
