    End result will look more or less like this (without the paper of course).
    See more variations of the tape at the end of this post.

    • Start with a transparent canvas
    • Set your Primary Color to D8D8D8
    • Use the Shape ( :RectangleTool:) tool to draw a solid ( :ShapeDrawTypeInterior: ) rectangle with the height of 25px and a width of what ever you like. (I used 100px)

    • Use the eraser ( :EraserTool:) tool with Antialiasing disabled ( :AntiAliasingDisabled:) at a Brush width of 1px, to cut out triangles on both ends. Like so...

      Zoomed in to show detail:

    • Set your Primary Color to C0C0C0
    • Use the 'Outline Object' plugin to make a border around the tape. Radius of 1 and Strength of 10

    • Use the 'Feather Object' plugin, with a Feather Radius of 1

    • Rotate the tape to 45 degrees using Zoom / Rotate ( :RotateZoom: ). You may have to expand your canvas first
    • Set the layer Opacity to about 175 ( :LayersLayerProperties: )

      There's your Scotch Tape:

    • Now just put your paper or photo into a new layer under this one.

    And if you want a more transparent tape or finer torn edges, see below for some variations:
