I duplicated the base again, and set it to Soft Light at 57% opacity. Then go to Filters>>Sharpen>>Unsharp Mask. My setting is at around 18 I think... If it's too much go to Edit>>Fade Unsharp Mask.

I then added two brushes. Just use two small blob type ones that you can find - one in yellow and one in green. I then added text. It reads "baudelaires", in BigMisterC (available at Dafont.com), at 9px, AA set to Strong.
