Short answer: Bump Map (Filters->Map->Bump Map)
Long Answer:

1. New image.
2. Add two layers
   a. Layer "Paper" Midtone gray (#88) or unsaturated color tint
  (say #88 for an unsaturated yellow)
   b. Layer "Text" Black on white
3. Blur "Text" layer slightly (approximately 5 pixels, starting value)
4. Make "Paper" Active layer
5. Filters->Map->Bump Map...
6. In dialog, Select "Text" layer for "Bump Map: Parameter setting.
7. Use scroll bars to pan around "Paper" layer preview, until you locate text image
8. Experiment with other parameters
9. Hit "OK" when you've got it.

Have fun. And remember, there's always more than one way to do it.

[Gimp-user] Colord emboss

[Hogeweg, Erwin (IndSys, GE Interlogix)]

Hi,

I want to create an image as if a text were 'embossed' in a colored sheet of paper but 
I can not figure out how to do this. The problem is that after the emboss everyting 
shows up gray. I played with the different emboss settings but couldn't get the result 
I wanted.

I did the following:

1.  Created a colored background.
2.  Added the text (in black)
3.  Flattened the image
4.  Applied emboss.

I attached a small example (created with an other program...) but I not sure it will 
make it to the list.

Any help is highly appreciated,

Erwin
