Wrinkling in a vellum negative

This vellum negative wrinkled because of the large volume of black gouache. Vellum doesn't seem to wrinkle if the black regions are small. I was able to successfully make a similar negative for a 5x7" plate, but when I scaled it up to 8x10", the wrinkles got out of control.
