Opened up a blanket document size 8x11 with 300 dpi

I used Pexels to grab three images for each final project

• All backgrounds are a solid color

• The second to last image back is either something that caused or is in direct effect of wildfires

• Image after that is a forest

• And another image that shows the impact

I used the layer mask tool to cut out the “rip” in each image while keeping the back two images invisible

I used ripped paper brush presets I downloaded from the Internet to create the realistic rip

Once that image was complete I made the other layers visible

I added texture with watercolor brush presets and used the embossing tool to make the strokes look like they were actually on the image
