For printing at home, you can purchase heavyweight photo paper or Matt Card Stock online at either Amazon, eBay, your local Arts and Crafts store, Stationery shops, or other similar outlets.

FRAMING TIPS
When it comes to framing, choosing the right frame is important. Things to consider include Picture/Photo Frame size, Colour, Material i.e., Wood, Plastic, glass, metal etc, frontal display i.e., Glass or Perspex, your décor styling, will it complement your walls, wallpaper or overall styling of the intended room?
Frame sizing – You can base your frame selection to fit your artwork in 1 of 2 ways.
- Choose a frame that fits the overall size of your print e.g., a 5x7in frame (internal frame display area should be 5x7in) to fit a 5x7in print OR
- Choose a frame that has a Matt/Mount opening display of 5x7in to fit a 5x7in print. This could be in the form of a standard frame that is slightly bigger than the specific print size e.g., an 8x6in frame with a Matt/Mount opening of 5x7in to fit a 5x7in print.
