Sailing Across the Deep Blue Sea

Ever feel like you want to get messy after coloring so many images crisp and clean.  Why not go "distressed" with a amazing image by Stampendous.  This ship was the perfect thing to use for this technique.  instead of using distress inks I colored it up with Copics, airbrushing the background.  I then added Frantage to the edge of the image (after cutting and popping the focus of the image).  I really love the end results and thought this would make the perfect guy card.
