You could add a GUITexture. Then you position them on top of each other. Problem is that you might get your GUIText behind. You need to give a higher z-position value in the transform to the GUIText to appear on the front.

This isn't enough any longer. https://imgur.com/FENeiYG

edit: I just made the texture 20% opaque by adding using the alpha channel https://imgur.com/4k94S3j quick fix for me, not really a great solution for OP

That answer is from 2012 and about the legacy GUI system. Why bother?
