Do you have a method to create a sandblasted effect, within a region?
I plan to have a outlined/raised pattern within a "carved sandblasted region".

Here's a process I've used, you can do a Google search "Sand Pattern" when you find one you like save the photo
as a square, Oval, Circle, or what ever you want as a Carve Reagion, then import into your CW Designer as a png file.
Save it as a pattern, and then you can stretch it into any shape or size you need. I posted this one for you to play around with,
I've carved ones like this for my Granddaughter. After the plaques have a finish coat, she paints the the graphics like this negitive Butterfly
with Opalescent Colors then fills them in with crystal clear acrylic epoxy.

Thanks for responding Ken. However, I was referring to a sandblasted effect, common in the wooden sign industry, when fine sand is "blasted" against the wood causing a sandblasted effect.
