I'm sure there's a proper name for sprinkling embossing powder on the paper and holding it over the toaster till it melts so the heat gun doesn't blow it off the card?? I often do this for a snow effect but wanted to try it with flowers. They are white embossed on Melon Mambo card and some were white embossed on vellum, cut out and applied with a bit of glue.

This is so pretty! Lovin' the white on the melon mambo. Another way to apply the beautiful sprinkles might be to use the spritz tool and versamarker to get the sprinkle and then embossing powder. I thought of this as your card is gorgeous and I would love to try it but I am too lazy to bring my card upstairs to the toaster! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
