Personally I like to use a layer or two of acrylic gesso... you might want to sand your board if it doesnt have tooth (if you are just using card board then obviously you wont need to:-)

Gesso fixes the linen or canvas to your support perfectly well, I've even used this method on completely non-absorbant surfaces like aluminium, and it's archival (you can remove it later if need be)

Hope you find what works best for you.

regards
