First layer of leaves were inked in mossy meadow then stamped off twice, 2nd layer is "full strength" mossy meadow. First layer of flower is inked in curry, 2nd layer is cajun craze. Flower is die cut and popped up with foam dots. Background is misted in pumpkin (mess #1), stamped with tiny dots stamp. To change color of silver leaf trinket, I inked it with Versamark then embossed it with curry powder (2nd mess, powder flew everywhere!). Mossy background cs is embossed with Subtle EF, misted with alcohol first (mess #3). Gotta go clean up!

Love your misting and dot stamping - perfect touches to this pretty Fall card. I love the pretty flower in the center too. Great Fall BD card.

But from messes arise a lovely work of art! This card is great, and now I want that embossing folder. Your flower and leaves are just beautiful. Kudos for going the extra step and changing the color of the trinket. It all goes together so perfectly!

Your card is lovely so I couldn't figure why you gave it such an odd title - then I started reading your description nodding my head and thinking - "Been there - Done that!" Still the final result is just perfect . . .
PS. I've had the "fly away" EP problem - I find that if I heat the object (hold it with a tweezers) from the bottom first to partially set the powder then finish with a quick blast of the heat gun on top, that I don't have the problem. This also works with really OLD powder on cardstock that otherwise doesn't want to melt correctly. Some of my colored powders are 30 years old or more.
