I love designer paper. Sometimes it's just too cute to cover... I used the Nestabilities oval dies to create a scalloped "ring" and created the inside ovals to be smaller, so the designer paper would peek through.
Thanks for looking,
lise
p.s. Finished card size: 4" x 5.5" - I wanted something a little slimmer than a standard card.

Really cute main image and I like your three buttons in graduated sizes. I know what you mean about covering up patterned paper--I had that problem so much when I was scrapbooking and didn't want to cover parts of the background paper with my pictures!
