Ahh, you are using Gimp.
I didn't do the GIMP template or tutorial, so I'm not 100% sure, but in photoshop, a combination of posterize and surface blur work really well.
I think GIMP has posterize as well, but I'm not sure if you can target a specific layer with it (i.e. in Photoshop you can just do it to the cover layer leaving the outer and inner ring alone).
