Default Framing

I've painted a few pictures onto parchment paper and I have the frames to
fit. Any advice on the best way to frame? The parchment is thin, so can be
busted through easily, so I thought I'd spray fix it to card stock, but how
do I then attach it to the back of the frame? The best kind of glue?
Thanks for any advice!

Personally, I would carefully cut the picture to size, then apply a
good quality craft glue to the back of the frame, in a very thin
layer, then put the picture on and sit a weight on the frame. Of
course, assuming a 1:12 size, it wouldn't have to be a heavy weight,
but enough to prevent the parchment from curling as it dries and
distorting itself and the frame. I would probably sit it on a smooth
surface, face up, then put the weight on top of the frame. I don't
think the specific brand of glue is critical. I would stay away from
polyurethane glues or any of the yellow glues, though.
