First of all, Thank you for the honor being guest designer this Month and for the warm welcome from the team.
I've made 2 with this week's colors, using for both the same technique but different embossing folders
I've rubbed a white wax crayon over the paper which was laying on the raised side from the folder, then sponged the colors over the paper, stamped the bird and colored it with the same inks, stamped the sentiment on a sponged left over and cut it in parts, die cut an oval with 2 nesting dies and popped the paper on foam tape

Now this is a very different way to use ef's and get a nice effect in the process. Thanks for sharing what you did with us. These colors are so pretty and work really well with this technique. Beautiful card...Love the oval and bird~
