I do plan to stretch the cloth and anchor it to the foam core but not just sure how to layer it to get the look I want. I agree with your idea of using batting to give it a smooth padded look. I did this on another picture and liked the effect. I will play with your idea and see what I come up with. Thanks for your ideas. I want them to look professional when I am done. If not I will take them to a framer.
