Clare:
The design is beautiful. I'm not sure what you mean when you say the back paper sticks to the glass. Is it the tape strips that made the back paper wavy looking? Did you use foam double stick tapes?
When I attach a background paper to a frame, I only use the clear thin two-sided sticky tape in and stick it only in each corner that will be under the border mat. Or put the sticky tape horizontally at the top and bottom that will be hidden under the border mat. You only need a little tape to secure the background paper at the edges, the border mat will hold everything else in place.

Claire, you have made this design beautifully.
I would always use heavy card stock or proper mount board to mount my designs, especially one as beautiful as this. If you can't use mount board in future i would agree with Gail's tips re double side tape just around the edges where it will not be seen. I'm not sure if there is anything you can do to rescue the background on this design.

Dear Gail and Angie,
You got my problem and I used light weight paper as card stock. In the past when I use double side tape only around the 4 edges, the paper also show wavy look if the flower arrange is big (meaning use much glue) particular during humid weather. I hardly found colourful mount board in HK but will search. Or else, I can use watercolour card and paint on it. Nothing can do to rescue it but just learn a lesson.
Clare
