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.

What an interesting technique... I might have to replace my toaster after all. ;-) Your card is beautiful - love the Melon Mambo with white, and your vellum flowers are so pretty!

What's wrong with holding the heat gun under the paper so you're heating the back. That's always how I've melted powder so it doesn't blow away. You have more control that way than with a toaster.
