HI Betty,
I am not to sure I understand what you are asking?

  I am not sure if the "RD" is a typo or something that I am not familiar 
with... or if I am just brain dead again ...
  If you are talking about combining RS'ing and Pergamano that has been quite 
easy for me to do... I am doing several different things as far as my 
stamping goes with the Pergamano... 
  In one instance I am stamping my image onto paper and then using that 
stamped image as a pattern that I trace and then give a full pergamano 
creation to that tracing.
  I am also using any number of different pergamano patterns to make my cards 
or just the front of a card. I am adding stamped goodies to both the front 
and inside of my cards to finish them off and allow the Pergamano to take the 
predominate center of the composition.
  I am not sure what you mean by "material used for punching".  In pergamano, 
there are "tools" or punches that are used to punch the many many little 
holes in the paper... and these do not interfere with your stamped designs... 
but should be used to augument your designs. 
  I also like to add a bit of embossed images with RS's using various 
embossing powders... the Pergamano is pressure embossed so having both types 
on a single composition is very becoming!
  Today I did not do any Pergamano or Quilting... and the only real thing 
that I did that was even close to craft was to straighten out some of my 
fabrics in my stash  and then set up some images to be made into stamp 
matrix that I will have made up this week... I have another 69 images that I 
want to add to my RS's...   Just doing the setups on the paper took several 
hours this evening... so now I am winding down some from all the fun!
take care Betty!
Julia
