This script will add that rough raised edge around any vector shape, whether it is a preset shape, a text, or a hand-drawn design. You can use one of the four options for textures (snow, snow and ice, sand or dirt) or choose a totally different color to replicate something else. Experiment with gradients too, for a different effect.

For a sampler, I created a complete alphabet of ice and snow. You can add it to any snow background as the ice is partially translucent. It will pick up the background color if you want. Otherwise, you can always add another layer below the ice and fill it with a solid color. But hey, why not pretend you are fishing, and add some fish under the surface of the ice?

This script will let you draw or write anything on a separate layer, on top of a sandy image and will create the typical ridges you would get if you used a stick to write in the sand.

You can write or draw anything and if you prefer to use a preset shape or any shape for that matter, the script will draw the outline in the sand.

Once you have your design "marked" in the sand, it is still left on a separate layer so you can move the design somewhere else on the sand, but best of all, it allows you to tweak the perspective so it will match the angle of the photo, for a more realistic effect.

Use any sandy background, whether it is your own photo or stock photos.

This week, as a sample, i created a series of digits and a few other simple designs in sand. Since the drawing matches the sand background, and i can't give you that background, there is a link in the README file where you can download the seamless tile to create a fun sandy image. And it is FREE too.

I drew all the digits and the designs by hand, because it looks much more realistic than the idea of finding text in sand using Arial or Times New Roman! Could you imagine!?
