DD9ABC11K: My letter K is kraft paper, though I think one of the colored pencils might be kelly green too. I completely forgot about the double challenge of a key so no double for me.
CT0518: Two ways this fits with this month's Dirty Girl theme. First, the obvious one, the flowers. The second is that this was my first time to try blending colored pencils over an image stamped with white craft ink. I'm not entirely happy with this result, I need more practice. However, it isn't bad for a first try, I think.
FS588: This week's featured stamper is Jennifer who has a lovely gallery. I chose this card for inspiration: Thinking of You Flowers *Studio Calico Card Kit by picard76 at Splitcoaststampers I kept to the layout and flowers but I used different flowers, kept to a one layer card (except for the yellow glitter paper), used a different color palette, and used stamped spots instead of patterned paper.
I stamped and masked the flowers and leaves with white craft ink, heat setting it before coloring with Prismacolor pencils. I added ink splatters and heat embossed the sentiment but didn't like it when I was done.
I left it overnight and then worked on it some more today. I added more splatters but this time with a stamp from Timeless Texture. I lightly sponged gold Delicata ink over the yellow flower and the centers of the purple flowers, and added the strip of yellow glitter paper and now I like it better. I definitely need more practice at colored pencil blending over white ink though.
Thanks for looking!

OK, now you have got me curious about this technique. I guess I'll have to go try it because I love the brightness of the pretty flowers with the white under them. You did a great job with the masking and stamping!

Love your sentiment and the splatters on the kraft. Your flowers are really pretty and both the blooms and the leaves seem to have a sheen to them...very pretty!
