You could have a look at Treasure Island, SBT uses negative bottom margin on an image at the start of each chapter in order to overlay text. He uses a percentage, which doesn't scale gracefully, but -6em seems to work better as it's relative to text size.

As others have said you *will* cause trouble for some readers if you don't take great care in only displaying text over white parts of the image. Also, unintended artifacts will probably occur on different combinations of devices and software, so I would stay away from this effect if you don't have a very good reason to use it.
