Open the two images as layers: Open -> As Layers so the text is on top.

Add transparency to that top layer: Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha channel

Use the fuzzy select tool, set the threshold to about 20, click in the white
background to select. screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/Yk8KlV6.jpg

Go into the Select Menu and grow the selection 1 pixel: Select -> Grow 

Cut the selection: Edit -> Cut That gets to this :

Kill the selection: Select -> None

Adjust the position of the layer with the Move Tool, enable
move-the-active-layer to avoid moving the base layer. Adjust opacity in the
Layer dock if required: https://i.imgur.com/jTOUSG2.jpg

The dotted outline is the layer boundary, only exists in Gimp. Export your image
as a png (or jpeg) for a single layer image.
