I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to do a banner like this one:

http://qvectors.com/misc-vectors/grunge-banner-vector/

using XaraXtreme. I do not know how to use this program and find it hard to teach myself how to use it when it does not cover specific things I want to do such as the grunge effect, creating swirls etc.

Hoping someone could give me a quick tutorial on how to do something like the image above.

Thanks
