Make two clone duplicates of the text and offset them down and to the right about 4 pixels in each direction.

I have added a blue outline and white fill so you will be able to see all three.

Select the text in the middle and bring it to the Front (Ctrl f).

Select the middle text and the bottom text and from the Arrange menu, select Combine Shapes... Subtract Shapes.

Select the uppermost text and bring it to the front (Ctrl f).

Apply Fractal Cloud fills to the text and the remains of the trimmed text (which I will call the shadow).

Open the Stone Fills folder in the Fill Gallery. Select Coarse Grain #18 and drag a copy onto the page.

Right click on the fill and select Bitmap Effects and Plug-ins... Bitmap Effects > Brightness and Contrast. Drag the Contrast slider all the way to the right and then press OK.

With the bitmap selected, right click on the black color square on the screen palette. Right click again and select Create Bitmap Copy... Create a copy using True Color for the Color Depth . Save your work and take a short eye break. When you come back, we will find out we are going to use this bitmap.
