Yeah, the simple look is nice. Text is good, but it looks a little pixelated. See how it looks if it's bigger but lower in opacity, so it still wouldn't take too much attention. I don't like the border either, it doesn't fit very well. Try no border at the bottom and a light one as you approach the top part. Better to do this manually than use a blending mode because the former's a lot more reliable considering that you would have done it yourself. To do that just get rid of the border, flatten the image (if you need to, depends on the way you made this), make the selection for the border, and try different things to make the border (burn tool, levels, hue/saturation, ect.). Just a suggestion.
