Thinking of You - Fun with my new Stampin' Blends

I loved using the Blendabilities but Stampin' Up! pulled them because of design problems.  Now, a few years later, new alcohol inks have been introduced with a brand new name, Stampin' Blends.  Well you know what the Bard said about a rose by any other name, right?  I had to try out the new pens to see how they compared to the originals.  Since my order arrived the day before yesterday, trying them out has been foremost on my mind.  But you know how life gets in the way.

Today I tried the new Stampin' Blends out on images which are from another company but, well, I fell in love.  So I had to have them.  Of course it helps that the image I used really let me try a lot of colours and also helped me to see just how good the pens are in tight places.  Overall, I'd give them an "A".  Easy to work with, excellent results.

I used the stylized image of the owl three times as you can see.  Two of the images are upright while one is hanging upside down.  Two of the images also share the same colours while one is the odd man out.  Well, there is a reason for that. 

I'm entering this card into the CASology challenge which has the "cue word" ODD.  Under the circumstances you can understand the layout, right?  There is an "ODD" number of owls.  One owl is the "ODD" man out in colour. 

I also created this card as a single layer card because I intended to enter it into the Inkspirational challenge.  

And finally, I'm also entering the card into the Crafty Catz Challenge which calls for a clean and simple card.
