I compared a marker labeled turquoise with Distress Oxide peacock feathers. Looked close to me, so that's what I used for turquoise. It was easy to choose lucky clover and twisted citron oxides for the greens. SSS Morning Blossom was die cut from white scraps and I used blending brushes to get the colors as I wanted them. 
I have a huge collection of Stickles and found that one of them was Turquoise, so had to use it! The background is SSS Refracted 3D embossing folder on a panel of GKD Whisper cardstock which is a light gray. Unfortunately it's not as obvious in the picture as it is in real life. 
I had some Easter sentiments already stamped from last year, so die cut one with a PTI flag die. I never need to buy more sequins.😊 Turned out to be a good thing to have a great variety of colors as I found turquoise and greens that were a pretty good match. I'm also entering SSS Monday.
Gorgeous card Greta, I love your colour choice.
