I do a bit of both, but I'm veering more towards die cut decoupage or very simple hand cut as my hands don't want to follow my brain anymore, lol. I haven't got promarkers anymore, but I bought some Spectrum Noirs. I like them better. I'll admit the colouring in is more therapeutic than the decoupage. I don't seem to say as many naughty words (what you, Joannie? Never I hear you shout) when I'm doing it.
