I wanted to do something... anything, with the box, the crackers came in.
So, I cut it to the size of a printer paper. That is the size of the photo frames I have.
I have done it before. The Dark Emotions, do you remember that one?
But, the cardboard got bulked with all the wet paints.
So, I was bit reluctant to try again... But, it is just an experiment, right?
i searched on the net to see how others did it. Got this video
Like in the video, I added two layers of newspaper to the cardboard. When I was adding more layers, the paper layer happened to rip a bit. So, I had to add bits of paper on it again.
I am happy with the background:
So here, is my Mixed Media Cat:
Before the piece got completely dried, I put it under a stack of heavy books. So, it is not bended like the "Dark Emotions".
PS: I made fiber paste and used it in this piece too.

Love it. Your background came out great. Adding the newspaper was an excellent idea. Enjoyed the video you found too.
