Tear it Up with the Picsart Paper Effect

Using stickers is one of the easiest ways to make seriously dramatic edits, just like the torn paper effect. Yep, you can achieve it with stickers too. With stickers, the ripped look can be yours in just a few clicks. Go to the Picsart web editor, click stickers and search for ‘ripped paper’. Browse the options and pick the right ripped sticker for your digital canvas. All that’s left to do then is reposition and resize the sticker so that it fits your design and the look you're going for. Using this method, you can continue to layer on the rips for a dramatic effect with tons of depth.

Go beyond selfies and simple collages with the paper effect. You can use it to create something truly outside the box. Make abstract-looking artwork by layering different backgrounds on top of each other. Create a 3D look by using it to unveil something unexpected – like a ferocious animal clawing its way out of the screen, for instance. Transform a simple piece of text into inspiring art by adding a ripped paper effect around it, as if it has been torn from the pages of a well-loved book. Or create a surrealist landscape by making the ripped paper effect look like a horizon, mountain range, or multicolored sunset. From there, apply high-quality stickers, doodles or photo effects until you get the look you want.
