I have some old decoupage somewhere, and some packs of die cut, like Wellington bear and Hot diggity dog, which I like to stroke every now and then.
I find those types of kits useful for a last minute card too, but I do love to stamp and colour - even if the result may not all that professional!
I agree though Andrew, that the colouring is very therapeutic and calming . . . . and addictive!
