This is such a simple method and can be used in a number of different ways to enhance your pages. Depending on what type of paper you use and the direction you tear, this look can provide you with a number of different styles in minutes.
Unless you're using cardstock, most papers have a coloured side and a white side. If you place the paper coloured side up and tear towards you, you will see a white edge appear, along the tear.
If you don't want that edge, simply flip the paper over, so the white side is facing up and again, tear towards you.
For a straight edge look, place a ruler over the paper and tear.
For a rougher look, tear the paper free-hand.
Now, apply this technique to as many different elements as you wish on each layout.
• photo mats
• embellishments
• journaling boxes
• borders
• photo corners
• titles
Once you get the basics down, you can use other methods such as chalking, stamping, or aging together with your torn paper to achieve an entirely new look.
