A quick recap of the technique:- Get rid of the background by making white transparent
- Find a suitable texture to use as a background.
- Create a new layer for the lettering
- Adjust the lettering layer's transparency until it looks right.
- Change the transparency type to "fractal" to get the uneven fade effect.
