Summer Camp Week 1 Sketch Challenge

Kristina posted a video today discussing balance when designing cards. She shared three sketches, each utilizing different balance types. I chose to use the symmetrical balance sketch for my card.
We are to continue to use the week #1 color combo:


I'll reiterate, these colors are giving me fits. Not feeling the love, at all. I keep wanting to add some green.Most of the patterned paper I own also has some green mixed in. Anyway, here is my card.

In retrospect, I wish I would have stitched the perimeter of the patterned paper. Also, the colors did not photograph well. I shot the picture in the basement instead of heading outdoors. Basically, nothing is going to make me like this card, lol.
Paper: PTI-White, Spring Rain, DCWV-Pocket Full of Posies
Ink: Ranger Adirondack-Sail Boat Blue
Stamp: Simple Sentiments
Other: Provo Craft embossing folder-Swiss Dots, Hobby Lobby gems, twine from stash, PTI felt and buttons, PTI-Beautiful Blooms II dies, Stampin Up border punch
