Hello! We are so excited to be hopping along with our friends at Ellen Hutson today. We are featuring projects using our NEW Liquid Watercolors and are SO excited to show them off in action. Avery Elle’s liquid watercolors come in 10 gorgeous shades that can be used on their own or easily mixed together to create custom colors. For an intense shade use the watercolors straight out of the bottle. If you want lighter shades, just add various amounts of water to get the color you desire. The possibilities are endless. Be sure to check out all of the details of the hop as well as how to be entered to win one of TWO FULL SETS of our Avery Elle Liquid Watercolors over on the Ellen Hutson Classroom Blog.
So let’s carry on with the hop. You should have arrived here from the amazing world of Julie Ebersole (major fangirl here). If you’re lost and want to get back to the start, the list is all the way down at the bottom of this post!
I have been having SO much fun with these watercolours since I got them and just love their versatility. If, like me you’ve jumped on the latest alcohol ink trend then I you may be interested to know that a lot of similar, but more subtle results can be achieved with these water colours. Grab a cuppa and watch this short video to see what I mean 🙂
I have a few cards here showing how I used the panels I created in the video:
