GIMP Version: 2.10.13
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: New User

For the birthday of a friend,tomorrow, I started this a few days ago and I can not finish.To bring out the text, I tried a gradient on the bottom (there is one light), I tried a drop shadow on the texts by trying several colors with filters Gimp and G'Mic but I have not found a outcome that suits me.

I am at this result:

What would you advise me?

Level_0: That's a really beautiful card. If you are concerned that the text doesn't stand out enough and you are in a hurry, I'd suggest just stroking a thin outline of the text on a separate layer and put it to difference mode. Usually the effect is a bit too strong with full opacity, but it looks good if you pull opacity down a bit.

You could try doing a 3D Extrusion, or a Outer Glow on the text.

With the advice of AnMal, :tyspin

I made a contour in difference mode and I decreased the opacity. It is a subtle contrast (I'll have to note and try to remember

).
the 70 green and red are made with the Erisian Emap (christmas) and the lower text with the Warrior Emap (lava1). (thanks)

Wallace,thanks, I tried but very quickly, too quickly 3D extrusion and layerFx / outer glow and I will have to study this.
