Looking for a fun water embellishment for your swimming themed layouts? Try this simple look made up of three elements:
• paper splash droplets
• flourishes
• Nuvo Drop droplets
Combining these three elements can create an eye-catching, fun detail to your water themed pages. You can easily customize them to fit any size or style and mix and match the pieces to better fit your supplies and what you have on hand.
Here's how I created mine:
First I drew the droplets and cut them out. At the time I didn't have a die cutting machine so I had to rely on my own hand to design those pieces. If you don't have a die cutting machine, these droplets are very easy to draw. Either way, you can custom fit them to your design.
I added a hand-stitched border to a few of the larger paper droplets.
Next I added in some small flourish stickers overlapped onto the paper droplets.
The last element I added were small Nuvo Drop droplets.
If you want to see how they were created check out my Nuvo Drop YouTube video.
The tiny little droplets are a fun detail to complete the look.

On the MoonSwatch, digital printing link is used solely for the planet image on the battery cover. On the Scuba Fifty Fathoms, however, the process is used for the nudibranch link illustration on the rotor, gradation effect link on the dial, and ultimately the entire plane of the assembled movement facing the display caseback as well.
As he comes face-to-face with link the police, prepared to fight, his chapstick-holding hands fill link the screen (there's simply not enough time to link explain why he's holding chapstick right now) and we get that under-the-sleeve look at the Casio on his wrist [00:28:22]. This scene really sets the rest of the film in motion.
