Greetings!

So, I was in the process of making a handout for my table-top RPG group using RoBA's Old, Weathered Paper Tutorial when I decided that the ink on the parchment should look more realistic. It needs to bleed into the paper a bit.

Here it is as it sits now: http://imageshack.com/a/img538/3605/WE4h4u.jpg

Yes, I used CG's wood plank background. ;-)

Any tips or suggestions for making the lines look more realistic using GIMP? I tried some blur and distorting the edges, but it just didn't work out real well. The lines are so broad and flat. Hmmm . . . Maybe a pattern fill might work . . .

Thanks for the help!
