Thanks. Loved the technique and your card.
(Note: for those commenters struggling with curled paper - try placing the piece under something heavy, such as a dictionary as it completes it's drying time. I myself have a meat press with a flat bottom (yes, I'm not joking - it's a Lodge, cast iron legitimate meat press) that I stack on top of pieces that need help to straighten back out if they've curled for whatever reason. Thanks to my mom for figuring that out and gifting me one!!!) :0)

@Superannuated It depends on the thickness of the CS.
@meatballsspaghetti I would stamp on the vellum before and heat emboss to keep the print crisp.
