Freshly Made Sketches is a brand new challenge blog started by Lesley from the Paper Players, another one of my favorite challenges. I must admit that when I first checked out Freshly Made I was a bit puzzled by the concept to make a "clean" card. But after having read their explanation here the idea makes much more sense to me now. So here is my "clean" card using this week's sketch. 
When I saw the sketch I immediately thought of using my Stampin Up! Pattern Pieces stamp, as well as the SU! set Sew Suite. As you can see from the card there is a whole lot a paper piecing going on and I won't bore you with the details. I will say that in retrospect I think I should have stamped the Pattern Pieces image on the red patterned paper, but overall I'm pretty happy with the card. Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; SU! Basic Grey; SU! DP; Ink: SU! Tempting Turquoise & Certain Celery, Hero Arts Punch; Stamps: SU!; Spellbinders plain & scalloped circle dies
