New Tut "Big Rockstars"

You will need:
My template # 6 below
I used a scrap kit by Honored Scraps called Rock It, Roll It available for purchase at Tresured Scraps here
Mask of Choice
Eyecandy 400 Gradient Glow filter
Penta.com Jeans filter
Xero Radiance filter
MuRa Meister Copies filter (for your name part)
A tube (or 2) of choice of a "rocker chick" lol.
I used one by Ismael Rac available for purchase at MPT
