Select a duplicate of the clipping path (that I forgot to tell you to make!) and open the Fill Gallery and from the Marble folder select Coarse Grain 3. (You will need the Xara CD in your CD ROM drive).

Place the bitmap button over the marble fill and apply a Bleach Transparency 60%. Make a duplicate of the bitmap (Ctrl-D) and change the transparency type to Stained Glass. This combines the best of Bleach and Stained Glass transparencies. Use another of the clipping path duplicates to create a shadow for the button, fill it Orange-Yellow, then use the Color Editor (the color wheel icon) to make the color a dark olive. Apply a Stained Glass transparency, 40%. On the right is the finished button with a few threads tossed in. The canvass is from the Fabrics folder.
