You'd need a trace tool for that. Inkscape can probably do it, but not all raster programs are able to read SVG. I'd go with a very large JPG.

See below. I've bump mapped / embossed your drawing onto the brown linen cover I scanned yesterday, and applied a tiny amount of orangy highlight, by turning your ornament to black and white, then to orange, removing the part I didn't want highlighted, and then set the layer opacity to something like 5.

That looks great!!!! I want this, load a big one up, pleaseeeee.

I can't wait to get home and test some things (yeah, I'm still at work and probably shouldn't spent my time in the net right now). And actually I have almost no time today but I HAVE to try some things today!

Edit:

I know there is more then enough stuff in the net but I'm starting to like to make it all by myself and find out how to do it. It is fun!
