A blog post by Nancy Nickel on how to use Rycraft Cookie Stamps

to create a greeting card with a paper casting of a Rycraft Cookie Stamp

Rose Casting Card

125 Rose Greeting Card made with a paper casting of Rycraft's cookie stamp plus a white doily and a pink bow

Materials Used in My Project:
White Cotton Linter
Arnold Grummer – Iridescent Flakes
Blender
Rycraft Craft Stamp #125 – Rose
Chalk: Unknown – Pink and Green
Papers: DCWV Shimmer Cardstock – Pink
Doily: From My Stash
Ribbon: Celebrate It
Marker: Spectrum Noir – Clear Sparkle

Instructions:
Follow the Basic Paper Casting Instructions to make a paper casting of the rose design. Note: I simply added a handful of linter to the blender with some water, and blended.

I wanted my Rose casting to have some sparkle in it, so I also added some of the Iridescent Flakes to the blender before blending.

After pouring it through a strainer, I added the wet pulp into the casting stamps. Then it was just a matter of using a sponge and towel to remove all the water. I popped the shapes off of the stamps, and allowed them to air dry.

I wanted my Rose to have some color but I wanted to keep it soft and pretty. I decided that chalks would give me the desired effect. I used two shades of pink, and two shades of green.
 
After coloring it, I adhered it to a pink cardstock circle. I then used foam take to mount it to my A2 tent-fold card base, with a pretty white paper doily adhered in between.

Here you can see the pretty sparkle from the Iridescent Flakes. I wanted just a little bit more shimmer, so I went ever the Rose with my clear Shimmer Marker.

Finally, I added a pretty double looped bow to the top of the card:
