    Ctrl click the Type layer to load it as a selection.

    Contract the selection by something like 5 pixels (depending on the size of the Type layer. 

    Note: The Contextual Task Bar is a good way to do this.

    Add a layer mask

     

    With the Layer mask selected, go Filter > Filter Gallery, and try the different filters.

    Spatter worked quite well

    If you make the resulting layer a Smart Object, you layer on additional effects.
