On the first post of the topic specific for the Smudge plugin:

The trick is to copy the target image (or layer) on the clipboard, then switch to the image (or layer) you want to smudge and use the plugin. In the plugin window, right-click the background and chose the clipboard image.

If (big "if") I understand you right, then adjusting @xmario's tutorial will do the trick.
If I understand you wrong, please give an example of the end result you're after.

Draw your gradient and then use either of these two plugins in order to limit it to particular shades:

If you need to use specific grunge textures, then @Ego Eram Reputo's suggestion to use the Alpha Mask plugin works best.
If however the grunge pattern (or "distress") does not have to be specific, you can try @toe_head2001's Rubber Stamp plugin that works on any "object", including text.

My post was edited by forum moderator @Pixey.
She posted the link on the first post of this topic so it's easier for everyone to find.
Look for the link at the end of the first post.

Well done everyone. I agree that the two entries places first and second are the best.
Thank you @Pixey for hosting.

I agree. Topics that are open to members interpretation are more fun.

One way to go is the ShapeMaker tool plugin that @Ego Eram Reputo explained above. But that could be an overkill for a simple drawing like what you need.
The Line Tool always draws straight lines, whether you hold the Shift key or not. As long as do not move any of the four "nubs" before you click Finish (or press Enter), your line will always be perfectly straight. What the Shift key does, is constrain the line to 15 degree multiples relevant to the horizontal or vertical axis. More on the Line Tool on this page.
Your shape, however odd, is still made of 8 straight lines, so you should be able to draw it just by using the Line Tool. Do not try to draw the corners, just draw separate straight lines. You'll find that drawing each line on a separate layer will allow for more accurate placing. For the 90 degree angles, hold the Shift key while drawing the lines. More on Layers on this page.

Great signature graphics indeed. Thank you @lynxster4 for hosting, all who took part and all who voted.
I liked the "tear us apart" entry best, so I'm pleased it won gold. Now I look forward to the next one.

This kind of question is best asked on the plugin topic for the benefit of others who may have similar questions.
In any case, this is how I used the plugin to get the result I got.
- With your graphic as the background layer
- Create a new transparent layer and type your text
- Select your text with the rectangle selection tool (try not to have much space between the selection edges and the text) and COPY the selection, make the text layer invisible
- Click on the background layer, use the Magic Wand (or the Lasso tool or whatever) to select the reddish shape you want your text over
- With the selection still active, create a new transparent layer, make it the active layer and use Paste Warp+. Fiddle with the settings until you get the result you want. If I remember right, in my example above I just moved the Horizontal Distortion slider to zero.

Like this?
Try typing your text on its own layer with transparent background and then using @MJW's Paste Warp+ plugin.
