Use Cougar 100 lb, mist both sides of panel and let sit for a few minutes before embossing -- this is the trick I've been missing! Works very well. Run through Big Shot with base plate, thin die adapter plate, embossing folder with paper, TE thin rubber mat. Color base layer with blending brushes (note that this stencil requires masking over some stems) and enhance coloring with Copics.
