Les Rosalies - Fantasy Boards

Six beautifully illustrated cards from Moulin Roty's enchanting "Les Rosalies" collection, each one featuring a bird, a butterfly, a fox or one of the other charming characters from that world, and ten sheets of fantasy leaves to decorate them with using a stylus. The technique is satisfying in that very particular way that things you do slowly and carefully always are, pressing the leaves onto the illustration and watching the picture come to life in a completely different way each time. The kind of activity that produces genuine quiet, the focused, absorbed kind that is rather lovely to be around.

We love it because:

• Six different illustrated cards means six completely different creative projects, each one with its own character and charm
• Ten fantasy leaf sheets gives real variety and plenty of material to experiment with across all the cards
• The stylus technique is simple to learn but genuinely satisfying to do, the kind of thing that improves with practice and rewards patience
• The results are beautiful enough to give as cards or gifts, which makes the whole thing feel purposeful and special
• Moulin Roty's "Les Rosalies" illustration style is wonderfully detailed and full of character throughout
• A lovely alternative to colouring for children who like something a little more tactile and unexpected
