I love the concept and the green and blue. The only thing I don't like is the copper accents. I think it would look awesome in like silver or something but then I'm a silver freak. =)
I think you are being too hard on yourself! This is very simple ... but elegantly sweet. Like Tamra I do favour silver ... but the copper here gives it a vintagy feel ... and doesn't look out of place at all! Hugs xxaxx
First, an LOL for Penni! Second, I like it. It's unique. I like the vintage feel. Maybe sponge a little (or something) on the top part to make it even more vintage. It feels like it's not complete. The vintage feel with the stark contrast of the modern paper is what I think makes it feel a little weird. Hope that helps.
I agree with the other posters that the copper doesn't fit quite well with the green and blue. I think silver would look better.
but if you want to use the copper anyway, add some sponing and tear/distress some of the edges to complete that vintage feel. Overall, I do like the card and love the layout.

I like it, but I'm not nuts about it. Now that coffee and paper card you featured a little bit ago...that was PURE genious!
