Hieroglyphs in stone (Designer Pro X)

[gwpriester]

I have several bitmaps of Egyptian Hieroglyphics in stone that I use for stereogram patterns but none I am thrilled with. So I decided to create my own.

I started with a vector piece of clip art from Shutterstock.com I made a bitmap from the pattern and applied it to my panel shape.

I used the Color Editor to change the colors.

Then in Designer Pro X > Photo Tool FX (because this feature does not exist in Pro+) I applied an FX > Stylization > Emboss filter to create the carved in stone look.

I placed a bitmap of rough stone over the embossed image and then applied a Flat > Overlay transparency.
