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.
