Art Postcard - Folk Houses

Decided to play with my Carbothello Pastel Pencils today and doodled this little postcard.  I've not had chance to really test them out since I bought them, and I'm very impressed - the same pigmentation as Pan Pastels, but in a  pencil.  I sketched and coloured the folk art scene with the pastels, then once I'd finished with them, I added some stamping with Archival ink, and some stenciling with white acrylic paint.  I sprayed fixative onto it, then doodled over everything with black and white pens.
