Delight in Life even when it rains

 This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 543 - No Gray Days in Lucky Bermuda, Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 546 - Mind the Gap and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 337 - Waves of Color. You know how when you see a challenge you know exactly what you want to make but can not find a stamp set that matches what is in your head??? GGGRR that was me this morning. I wanted the outside to be rainy and the inside cheerful reflecting that rough times will pass and the God's glory will shine again so I will have to just write what I want for the inside. I used spellbinders umbrella and impression obsessions clouds, sponged some basic gray on the sky and the clouds then Bermuda bay, so saffron on the inside for still some signs of cloudy skies but the sun shining and clearing up.
I used a fiskars tree line border punch on inside and out and for the top panel on the front I free handed the skyline. I stamped the sentiment in Bermuda bay on the front, inside and envelope. I hope you like it and I hope whomever I give this too is encouraged that God is still large and in charge and taking care of us.
Having computer issues with new upgrade of Windows 10 and can not load pics from home.  I will edit pictures once issue is resolved.
