Scrapbook Design Idea | Stitching & Watercolor

This layout is one that I stitched while we were road tripping through Colorado and after I got home I decided to experiment. It was risky to do so, but I loved the end result!
For the stitching I used a chain link stitch for the large splash and then used a back stitch for every thing else. I thought the change is stitching style would add some interest. Both stitches have a completely different texture and look.
The risky part was adding the watercolor inside the stitching details AFTER I had already stitched.
I used a watercolor brush with light blue watercolor and would gently paint a small section and immediately blot it with a paper towel so it didn't soak too heavily into the paper or the stitched detail.
I took my time and made sure I didn't have too much paint on my brush each time I added the watercolor to the paper. I was so scared that it was going to warp the paper and the stitched design, but like I said, I was super careful and it all turned out just fine!
To finish the layout I added some cardstock and patterned paper droplets, some watercolor splatter, and some Nuvo Drop droplets.
This layout is also part of my AD Stitching Template Kits that you can purchase at Scrapbook Generation.

It's hard to overstate link how much of an impact link the Freak had when it was introduced in 2001, with an emphasis on high-tech silicon and a link lack of conventional hands or dial. The new Freak S "Nomad" takes its place in that same linage, with a mix of futuristic carbon fiber and titanium on the case and 18th-century handcraft with a guilloché hour plate in sand-colored CVD, giving a mix of past and future in one impressive watch.
But that's not where link the fun stops. In addition to the long and legible minute and link second hands, the shorter hour hand features a hollowed-out circle link towards the tip, encircling the letters of the word "Shellback" below the pinion when passing over it.
