Hi skeeterman,

A good place to start is with a carve region
to drop the area around the carving back away from the element
that you want to stand out.
Here's one you can fool around with a little.

Check out the tutorial, "Regions, Surfaces and Textures ". Tutorials are under the Support tab on the CarveWright.com site. I have gone through about 80% of them, some more than once, and have found them to be good training. In fact, I am going to watch this one again.:)
