How to Blend Text with a Background

Hi guys, trying to teach myself some basic photoshop type skills. I'm working with GIMP, and basically all I'm trying to do is create some text to place onto an image while making it look like like it's "blended" with the background image and not just smacked down on top of it.
I've successfully created the font styling how I want, but when I crop and paste it onto the image it looks like a box, sloppily pasted on top of the image.
Is the best process just to use the air brush to soften the edges as best I can? Any other better tips?

Also, check your opacity. For certain darker layers, if you drop the opacity a few points, it will help with the blend.
