A grungy alpha

Sometimes I just get an idea for something without having a project in mind. Now that this alpha is done I have several ideas on how to use it. One of the things I've done with some of these stamp images is to set the layer properties to overlay and then duplicate the layer another couple of times until I reach the intensity I like. It sort of looks like the image is branded onto the paper. I wish I could really do that to real paper without setting it on fire...

Another thing I discovered about this alpha while I was working out the preview is that it really looks kinda neat if you overlap the edges of some of the letters while you are laying them out.

I'm going to play with these some more.

Here's the preview for tonight's alpha:
