Wednesday Stamper - Peace

I designed this card as a Christmas card but found it so labour intensive that I was only able to make a few. I coloured the dove and the world with radiant pearls. I love working with pearls but they take some time to dry unlike H2Os. "Peace" is the theme on Wednesday Stamper this week to commemorate the UN International Day of Peace on September 21st.

Quotation from The Dalai Lama:

Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free.
