In order from the start to finish
1.your primary color is on white, or somewhere near that color. you need to put the prime color on black
1.take off the italics
2.you probably want to make the text a little more blurred
2.you need three layers. the background is black (bottom layer) then the cloud layer on top of that and then the text layer on top of that
1.try adjusting the roughness
2.there is a text in the box that says "scale" you want to adjust its number to around twice the number of the text you did
3.when using paint.net you can go back to effects and there will be something along the lines of "repeat cloud" try using that
4.yes, after you adjust the levels on cloud layer you do change to the text layer.
6.you might want to hit "reset". maybe that will fix that.
