Still, you may be able to help. What do you do to "embed" the ornaments into the cover, so they don't look "tacked on"?

You can tell me what you do in Pixlr. I'll transpose your workflow into GIMP myself

Okay, first I load my layer in and then the second one. Then pixlr has like 10 different functions that merges these two layers by providing different merge options. Most of the time I test them all and see what comes out if it. The effect is so great sometimes.
