Image attatched, a quick play with some parchment paper. Made from scratch. I'll be editing this soon. C&r please.

I made it with the GIMP, so don't give me a suggestion about some photoshop filter :P

PS: It's for my forum, so dont ask me about why it has "Scaped" on it.

Try using some grunge brushes to make it look older.

There's an easy way to do ink stains, but I couldn't find a good enough brush for it, so for now, that's all it is. :P

What do you think about the text?

heh... i dont know how hard it is to make in GIMP, i know its as easy as eating pie in photoshop, so its hard for me to appreciate it. Anyway, I think it needs more detail, perhaps some lighting effects, it seems kinda plain...the text-font could be better, perhaps you could find a parchment-script type font? >.>

GIMP is so complicated. Before I had Photoshop, I was tearing my eyes apart.

I tried to use it once...I still have it come to think about it, but half-way through just making a text effect, i gave up and did something on photoshop...

It's darn hard making something with the gimp. And this wasn't just an image of parchment paper that I put text on. :P The parchment was made from scratch, with lots of effects that are hard to explain to a non-gimp user :(
