1st one
a) Put your image into gimp (the size you will need it for your card) Your text will not look sharp if you have to resize it.
b) Add a transparent layer - then using the rectangular select make a rectangle large enough to fit your text in. fill this with white and drop the opacity to 18% or more depending on your taste
c) using the text tool type in the text you need
Or, just incase you have to resize your picture, leave the text part until you put the picture with the semi-transparent box in your business card template.
2nd one
forget about b)
Do c)
d) Then select your text layer. right click and alpha to select.
e) Go to edit stroke selection (Make sure your foreground colour is white) or if you have 'text effects' do the stroke selection from there. It is better.
The last picture shows a glow not a drop shadow. I didn't change the text and now I cannot delete it.
