Tactile butterflies with felt

I've combined two challenges this week, for the colours the CAS Coour and Sketches challenge #183 and for the  Less is More challenge for the tactile aspect.

 I used felt for my tactile element and I diecut the three butterflies from the same name die set from Simon Says stamp.

 The sentiment is from Sizzix (happy birthday by Stephanie Barnard) and I stamped it with Versafine black onyx ink.

 At first I wanted to use the Paper smooches Dainty flowers die, but the taupe was hard to incorporate, so flicking through my dies I came acroos these and some from Joy craft, that were too detailed to diecut I found out ;-)

 Adhered the felt onto the crdbase with Aleene's fast
grab tacky glue and some foamtape for the yellow one.

I like using felt with dies, I made this card for an old challenge and the tactile caterpillar just melts my heart, but as I've already used it, I can't enter it , so just for you to look at ;-)

    Super cards Maaike - the felt butterflies are lovely and look so stroke-able! Your caterpillar is just adorable and is going on my "to be CASEd" list for one of my nephews or nieces who will love it! Thanks so much for sharing :)

    Love both cards Maaike. Haven't used felt lately on my cards but it does give a wonderful tactile quality, an extra dimension for CAS cards. Thanks for joining us at CC&S this week. Stef x

    How fabulous your cards are Maaike. I loved the felt butterflies when I saw them (but your caterpillar is so wonderful that it is a shame you had used it before). Thanks so much for joining us at Less is More.
