I used 12 by 12 prestretched canvas that were about 7/8 inch deep. I wanted them to stand out off the wall as the catalogs ones did and look like "art". I painted all the sides actually in the color of the family room. Which is a shade darker then this room. Then I coated with Mod Podge and added the papers(Bo Bunny, Basic Grey and Fancy Pants) that had been inked and stamped. I then pressed them with heavy books and magazines. What happened on a few were little wrinkles and such. I used those to my benefit and recreased those back down and then heavily inked over the creases to make them looked more aged and "dirty". I like that look. The bottom buttery color one I used Bo Bunny's new stamps on the corners. Beautiful!!
And so you can see how it works perfectly with the room..here's a view looking into the room.
I'm going to add now some metal art off to the sides of the wall..here's one that will go up..need one more.
