I wouldn't expect this to work.

1. you can't get single lines from it - this is only possible for black and white and even then usually produces bad results

2. you can't convert your template into a limited color version. This will fail.

3. Type will look really awful

4. the green areas won't consist of a single color

5. straight lines won't be straight

6. detail won't be recognizable

The blog post that Ares suggested offers quite a comprehensive look at Image trace. If you'd like to take a look at a video tutorial, here's a link: http://www.jeffwitchel.net/2013/04/turn-pixels-into-vector-with-image-trace-2/

What program are you working with- Illustrator? We can move your inquiry there as there is no technical help on the Lounge.

The complexity of the image you show will give most programs a very difficult time to image trace so 10 hours is really quite good!
