You have to select NURBS at output geometry when you create the text, as you can only use 3d-paint-effects on nurbs-geometry.
Then select the surfaces and choose in the Render Menu-Set Paint Effects -> Make paintable or something like this. Now, with the object still selected you can paint on it.

I tried a little something different as I created the text as a Trim instead of Polys or Curves. It worked like a dream, although the flowers came out of the front and drooped over - that was what I wanted but wasn't expecting. I love it when a plan comes together.
