Photoshop writing on a cast, got any ideas?

How can I make an effect that makes it look like black marker written on a white broken cast? I have tried everything i can think of, and nothing is giving me the look I am going for. Patterns and blending modes just give me a checkered look, displacement maps never seem to get it, and everything else just comes out looking grungy!

My goal is to make it look like a phone number was written onto a cast, so the phone number font must be big and bold and readable. I want it to look like someone drew big bubble letters onto a cast, sort of like the heart on image attached.

Hello and welcome.

Here's one technique that might work.

On a new layer, use the Brush Tool to write out what you want on the cast.

Set that layers blending mode to overlay. It will be light so duplicate the layer to darken.

You can then group those layers and then add and clip an additional Curves Adjustment layer to tweak the effect.
