Next step includes rasterizing both layers composing the texts. In this case we need to represent a new layer above each layer containing the text. Then press CTRL button to mark out the layers (the text’s layers and the layers above it). Then finally press CTRL+E. We need to make the same operation we did with the displacing effect for the rasterized layers. We did the same thing for the blue line made of segments.
