Anyhow, the technique calls for adirondack inks and water - though other inks work just as well.
I made a card and used a Rubber Stampede stamp called solidago sprig, with eggplant and meadow inks.
Monday also means Simon Says Stamp and Show - and this week the challenge is to "show some Wendy Vecchi style" - well, that's going to be a hard one for me (not!) isn't it.... just off to create now...
Ok, back! took a chip tag, painted it with gesso, then coloured with adirondack sunset orange pigment ink.
Added some Wendy stamps and some clearly for art Wendy flowers.

These are both beautiful. Love the monochromatic feel of the watercolour stamping. I'm hoping to find time to do the Simon Says challenge this week too. Great job.
Oh, Helen, this ROCKS! I love your approach to the GM08 technique-- the subtle colors are incredibly elegant. This design is beautiful.
Your Wendy card is awesome, too! How did you get so much wonderful art accomplished in a single day?!
Beautiful! It looks like a vintage floral scene.
I love the GM08 technique that you did in the soft colours.
I unfortunately don't have a single Wendy V stamp or art part so I can't do this Mondays SSSAS :(
Lovely work Helen ... Both pieces look fabulous ... Thank you for joining the team at Simon Says Stamp and Show this week.
Helen I just love both these pieces, they are gorgeous.

Lovely work Helen, like the subtle look on your GM08 card.
The subtle colors or your first card are beautiful. Very serene. Your wendy entry is also lovely. I am very drawn to her style, but don't have any of her stamps. I may need to go check them out. Thank you for the inspiration! I may tell my husband it's all your fault :-)
These are both lovely - and lol about the struggle. Love the jumbo flowers on your SSS piece.
this stamp and colour are just so right for the technique...!
