Nice tutorial for new ones. Welcome to the forum. 

 

People new to Paint.NET will need some screen shots...as noted above.

 

I would encourage you to edit your text so that u & ur become you, your & you're or even you are in the appropriate places ;)

 

The top cut part of the splatter needs to have a Gaussian Blur (@ 1 or 2)  or Feather & AA Assistant run on it to remove the jagginess. If you start at 4 times the size canvas you want the end result to be, the jagginess will be less apparent & using GB @ 2 works a treat for this. Then you can resize down by 25% :D

I am almost sure you didn't read this - http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/12138-tutorial-forum-posting-guidelines-update-030209/ #1 is not only important, its required.

I like the effect. However, in addition to what Sasha and Barbie (and EER) said, custom brushes mini, anti-alias, and drop shadow are plugins. You need to mention that fact and include a link to the topics where the plugins can be downloaded.
