Text/Appearance Issue

I have a sketch picture that i want to cut text into. The picture is inserted on a boss face. My problem is when it cuts into the part, any letter that is closed (like a D or O) the appearance for the inside of the letter will erase the sketch picture. I have tried dissolving the text into just sketch entities and selecting each individual contour but it still erases the sketch picture for the area inside the letters. Any info would be much appreciated.
