Some textures

The cotton looks nice but it is kinda hard to tell if it has that fluffy cotton feel to it being on a white background. Just my thought of course.

You can get them using tools like contour, fractal and linear fills, vector feathering, transparency... etc.

Those effects were applied directly to the fonts (I've downloaded some fonts from the internet).

I like the cotton effect, have you tried adjusting the profile sliders on the fill? that may give you the contrast you are looking for. Another method is to clone the cottony text and adjust the fill colours slightly then use a fractal plasma transparency to blend the two layers.

I'll try that on a computer that has a mouse. I'm using a laptop now.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I used the Gimp to change the contrast in the .png file.
