For today's WT, I chose to do the distressed alcohol marker technique on the flowers. I'd never done it before and I'll do it again...so nice to do a new to me technique with products I have.
This is also for the new ABC15 challenge-A is for alcohol ink. The background is from my stash, using ai and the flowers have alcohol markers on them. Finally, this is for the newest MMJ challenge-gilding flakes. Kept it simple, just in three corners.

I just bought some Micro beads a few weeks ago, so I am most excited to see yours on this gorgeous card. Love the use of gilding flakes. Faving this beauty! I have not heard of this technique, will have to check it out.

Gotta love gilding flakes - except for the perils of breathing, almost, while using them. They look super on that stash background, and I love the microbead centres to the flowers.

Beautiful card Jean and Fav'd. I now wish I had only used the flakes in the corners of my card..phew...and I agree with Sabrina, they get everywhere and don't breathe them in LOL.
I love the use of microbeads and on flowers and never done that. Must try. Your card is awesome. TFS. Happy day
