Tutorial gradient question

Hi Gimp-user,

I was going through this tutorial, and got stumped. http://ajitgraphics.blogspot.com/2008/09/neon-lights-tutorial-gimp.html

I have the white outline of the image, but I can't figure out how they did the gradient so the background gets the gradient, but it looks like the white outline was also affected by the gradient. I tried various Modes, among failed attempts. :-(

I have: FG: Purple, BG: Green
Tool: Blend Tool (FG to BG, Linear)

Layer 3: Transparent Background w/white outline. Layer 2: Gradient (not mentioned in the tutorial but was tried by me) Layer 1: Black Background

Layer 3 will be duplicated twice, with Layer 4's mode set to Value, and Layer 5 blurred 20 pixels.

Any suggestions?

Is there another way to get the effect of multiple "rough" outlines of an image? The tutorial's creator added layers and used Filters > Distort > Iwarp, repeating that several times.

Thank you.

It was probably not mentioned, but you should just create another layer for the gradient background.
