Jeanne is hosting with the wonderful trio of Calypso Coral, Misty Moonlight, Soft Succulent. Dessert is a 4th color.
I didn't actually use any other colors than black ink and white cardstock but I did play around with a 4th color just to see the difference between Soft Succulent, which has recently been retired, and Lost Lagoon which has been brought back from it's previous stint as an temporary In Color to a permanent place in Stampin' Up!'s revised color palette. I was sorry to see Soft Succulent retire but it really helped to get another color that is so close in Lost Lagoon. The green on my card is Jeanne's Soft Succulent. The "green" in my extra pieces is Lost Lagoon. It's just a tiny bit more blue but really seems to play with other colors almost like Soft Succulent.
My only other note on this card is that I used the same die for the Soft Succulent container's detail as I did for the white on white detail in the background.
As always, use whatever colors you have that are closest. I hope you join in the fun!

There's chicken soup in those Thermos bottles, right? That's the universal cure for whatever ails you! I love the way you used this week's colors, love the clever use of that diamond pattern die, and love the texture and white space!

Such fun and original dies and stamps for this card and great for a get-well greeting. I am interested in your comments about Soft Succulant and Lost Lagoon; I hadn't thought about them being similar, so I'll have to pull out those two colors and play around. SS is one of my all-time favorite greens so I was not happy to see it retire!

Wonderful idea for the challenge colors! Terrific die-cuts and embossed background. Love the thermos (chicken soup/tea) for a get well card. You are always so creative. Thanks for the thoughts on SS & LL colors.
