For this card I used the Glittered Stencilling tutorial, linked in the challenge write-up. I love this technique!
I first used the leaf stencil and misted the background with some green mister. When it was dry, I used the TH rays stencil and some clear-drying modelling paste, and added gold glitters. The diecut poppies were coloured with Twinkling H2Os and then I coated the flowers with Glossy Accents, also the Hello. The dragonfly peel-off was stuck to double-sided adhesive and glittered up, but I only trimmed the backing off his body to stick him to the card. I added tiny drops of black Liquid Pearls for his eyes, and used a red glitter for his body to pick up on the poppies. Base sponged with Black Soot, edges of main panel distressed.

Oh, gosh, another awesome background! Thanks for sharing deets on how you did it. The poppies look fantastic with the coat of Glossy Accents, and the so does that gorgeous word die. I love the sparkly dragonfly, too, just a perfect embellishment!

Lovely card, Sabrina, with the leafy stencil used in the bg. The shiny red poppies add a great contrasting texture. The bit of sparkle on your bg adds pizzazz too.

Beautiful background, Sabrina! The stenciled green and glitter are striking, as is the dragonfly. Love glossy flowers and sentiment. We're still about 20 degrees below normal temps for this time of year - it actually snowed in parts of Massachusetts last week.
