Coming in late to your question -
Here are a couple of suggestions for TNR.
Torched and Restored by Brent Braun
(can be done w/o lighter)

Torn by Daniel Garcia

Or, do a quick search "torn" in the PM search box and get many more.
If this is one of your first TNR effects, go cheap and get "Torched and Restored" for the $9.95 instant download price. Learn the basic technique and then look for other variations that suit what you want to achieve.
Again, although taught w/a lighter, you can do without one.
