I love the look of tearing, but I know there are stampers out there who don't like to tear for whatever reason. I think it adds tons of dimension and makes the card look aged and I love it. This card has tearing out the wazoo! So much going on here :) We'll just start from the top layer and work our way down. For the bird I watercolored him with Baja Breeze and Island Indigo. I tore the edges on the side and roughed them up a little. The DSP (yep that's DSP that looks like notebook paper-so cool!!!) is torn too. I also crumpled it up to give it some more texture. 
Finally the last layer is torn a little on the side. When you tear, there's no rule that says that you have to tear the piece off. I love the look of tearing it in the center or side of a page and gently roll the edges over. It add so much to the look of the card. Finally to finish the card. I broke out my color spritzer tool. This card sat on my desk for about 3 days. When I first made it, I looked at it and thought 'Hmmm not really a fan of this card' then as the days went on and I kept looking at it, it grew on me and now I really like it. There's something about the neutral colors and the blues and the tearing and textured paper that just kind of goes together :)Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!
