To get this look I had to duplicate the letter. On the letter layered on top I painted grunge. On the lower letter I "select layer transparency." I do this on the lower letter because, well, how embarrassing to say it, I color outside the lines on the top layer, spraying paint everywhere. When I do a "stroke outline selection" for the brown border the top layer would have been skeewampus all over the place. Google spell check is telling me skeewampus isn't a word. I guess the Google masters aren't from Utah. Anywho, the bottom... wait, anywho isn't a real word either? Sheesh... sheesh too? Doh! And doh? Oh, man. Okay, let me try mainstream American English here. The bottom layer is still perfect because I didn't color on it. I can select it, outline it (The outline is fatter than the letter & shows behind my beautiful painting), and copy merge from there, effectively cutting off my scary coloring outside the lines business. To non-photoshoppers forgive the Greek. Besides, Google says photoshopper isn't a word either so what do they know?
