Place the large white rectangle on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface.
Mount the small, multi-petal daisy image from the Daisy Lane Set on Block B. Ink it up with the So Saffron Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the bottom and up the right edge of the large white rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Change the orientation of the stamp every so often. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the small, multi-petal daisy image from the Daisy Lane Set on Block B with the So Saffron Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" piece of white cardstock.
Mount the fern image from the Daisy Lane Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Pear Pizzazz Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the bottom and up the right edge of the large white rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Change the orientation of the stamp every so often. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock and let some overlap the previously stamped daisy images.
Cut a Stamping Sponge into quarters so it is easier to control the sponge and you have more surfaces to work with.
Rub the curved part of a sponge quarter across the open So Saffron Ink Pad to get it inky. Then, lightly rub the inky sponge over the stamped daisy images on the large piece of cardstock and the small one. Repeat until you have the color coverage you want. Get more ink on the sponge quarter as needed.
Tip: I just clean my sponges when I'm done using them by running them under water until no more color is coming off. Then, I let them air dry. They may be stained, but they are clean enough to use with any color of ink in the future.
Rub the curved part of another sponge quarter across the open Pear Pizzazz Ink Pad to get it inky. Then, lightly rub the inky sponge over the stamped fern images on the large piece of cardstock. Repeat until you have the color coverage you want. Get more ink on the sponge quarter as needed. Don't clean this sponge quarter yet, you will use it again in a later step.
Rub the curved part of a third sponge quarter across the open Seaside Spray Ink Pad to get it inky. Then, lightly rub the inky sponge over the un-stamped upper left corner of the large piece of cardstock. Repeat until you have the color coverage you want. Get more ink on the sponge quarter as needed.

Cut a 6” piece of Seaside Spray 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the left edge of the stamped and matted white cardstock about 1/4” from the edge. Flip the layers over and adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with small pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the adhesive and add SNAIL to the back of the Crumb Cake rectangle and adhere it to the front of the card.
Mount either the "smile" or "friend" sentiment on Block C. Ink it up with the So Saffron Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining white rectangle.
Pick out the smooth oval die from the Layering Ovals Dies that cuts out a smooth oval that is 13/16" wide. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the sentiment is centered. Run through the tool.
