blocky filter pack 2 #158
Noise CC 0Wasn't satisfied with the original's colouring. Too much component transfer and colormatrixes yet the results are lacking a bit. So this time it is a simple black to transparent fade, making it possible remixing easily once there will be other blending modes supported as well. Probably in inkscape 0.92.
