I LOVE THESE INKS. They blend beautifully. These are the lighter colors in the trio hues and they make the most beautiful soft rainbow when blended together.  I took the die and drew a very light circle of the die to give me an idea of where to focus the blend. I wanted to be sure that I had the full rainbow in the die. I very slowly and carefully blended them together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was done, I lined up the die and sent it through my die cutting machine. I was careful when I removed it, because I wanted to keep the negative pieces to create this beauty. I carefully punched the paper from the die and saved all the pieces in a small tray. I then cut the same die out of just white paper so I could create the white circle part around the candles. I also used the white positive as a guide to glue the pieces back together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a little timely to put all  the correct pieces back into place. A few pieces are the same size and shape, so it took a little time but I got it done. I used my <strong style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/330wl\">Gina K Connect Glue<\/a><\/strong> to glue the blended pieces down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I had everything glued, I added the white halo around the candles to help keep that clean and simple feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I kept the sentiment really simple just using a sticker from the <strong style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/3a6uz\">Tim Holtz Idea-ology SENTIMENTS Label Stickers<\/a><\/strong>, and popped the panel up onto a card base using my <a style=\"font-size: revert;\" href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/31eix\"><strong>Simon Says Stamp \u2013 Big Momma foam Tape<\/strong><\/a>. I love the simplicity of this card but yet it makes such a wonderful fun statement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative.png 800w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative-295x295.png 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative2.png 800w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative2-295x295.png 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative1-295x295.png 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative3.png 800w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative3-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative3-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Negative3-295x295.png 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello crafy friends!
