Great tutorial! I think I will be able to do it. How do you put the white outline on top of your alpha? I have been wanting to learn how to do that.
fun challenge, would not have thought to use the torn edge in this way. Except for photoshop "save for web" woes, all is good.
It's so fun that there's more than one way to do things for our digital layouts. You can do up a post if you'd like. If you do a tutorial, please put it in the learning pad so others can find it too.
@FarrahJobling has a introduction to layer styles tutorial here that shows how to do it in Photoshop.
