If you have bright, distinctive paper and you don't know what to do with it, I have the perfect card idea for you today, using the Silhouette Scenes stamp set!
The stamp set is pretty but it becomes a WOW when you pair it with the See a Silhouette paper:
The key to big patterns on paper is to let it shine. The rest of your choices should be subtle because the paper is already a stand out. In the card below the stamped images are one color, a darker color choice so that the images wouldn't be lost against the designer paper. Add a bow in a corresponding color from the paper and this card is done. (easy peasy!)
