"We're asking you to incorporate a Peace Symbol or the word PEACE into your design ... or you can create a card that evokes Peace for you (make sure you explain what makes it PEACEful to you)."
Here is my PEACEful creation:
So on this card, I have used the word "peace" and also used a "peaceful", calm color scheme of Recollections champagne shimmer paper and a light brown from the Recollections Seaside paper pack. I've never seen SU's Crumb Cake cardstock in person, but I think this color looks very similar to what I've seen online. I don't know how visible it is in this pic, but I used Brilliance Moonlight White ink in the recessed areas of the embossed piece in the Belleek technique that Kittie Caracciolo of KittieKraft does so well. I note that you also can't see the shimmer of the champagne shimmer paper either, but trust me IRL it looks gorgeous! The sentiment from the Snowflake set from The Paper Company is stamped in the same ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I also inked the scalloped edges of the oval so they would stand out better from the same-colored background.
I chose to focus on this pillow:
which is so pretty!
