And here is the card I created to attend the above two challenges:

I used Simon Says Stamp's Floral Whimsy stencil set to create this colorful background. I applied Black Soot Distress Ink on part of the flower and leaves. Then I used Lisa Horton Interference ink pads to blend over the Black Soot Distress Ink area and also on the white area. With one color of an Interference ink pad, you can create two different colors on black and on white. I stamped the "get well soon" greeting (from Heffy Doodle's Everyday Sentiment Duos stamp set) with black Versafine ink pad on a stripe of vellum. Then I heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Finish the card by attaching the vellum stripe at the bottom of the card. Below is another look of the card:
