A flowery addiction

I am totally into flowers nowadays, this time I tried to make a stencil from my childhood memories. I used to play with paper and scissors a lot, and I used to tear of my notebook pages to create these floral patterns, and I must admit I did get in  trouble when my mom found out more floral patterns than the pages in my notebook....lol....good old days!
So I cut out the floral pattern,  but I am using only the outer ring here for the flowers(the inside pattern is like an intricate stencil,  will be using one of these days).
Ink in towards inwards, to get the gradient effect. Added some details and finished up the flowers.
The first one I made yesterday,I love how lovely these flowers have come out.
I used a turquoise ink and yellow ink plus a silvery color to do these flowers. Stamped the sentiment on the card, it is a one layer card.

Another entry here, these flowers were just calling for this challenge ;)


I have picked up some of the pinkish purple blooms from the inspiration picture.

The third card is based on a technique called "Bokeh".
I started with 2 shades of purple ink, and spread them around dot shapes , some dots are dark while some are very light, and some in between. After that I added some translucent glitter on a few dots, I am not sure if it is visible in my picture though.
Once the bokeh effect was then, I went on to add some frames on it, I don't own any frame stamps, but I do have a few die cut frames. Chose 2 sizes and just traced around those.
lastly, I used STAPlorations stamps to stamp in each frame.
