Hi ,

Has your scrapbooking evolved to the use of custom shadows?

A custom shadow is a shadow that has been manipulated to make an otherwise flat and lifeless object look more realistic and 3D in appearance.

When done right, they can have a huge impact on the design of a scrapbook page. Take this for example:

These two wire hearts from Karen Schulz are exactly the same. The only difference is the shadow. The one on the left has a basic layer style shadow. The one on the right has a custom shadow.

Which one makes you feel like you could reach out and pick it up?
Which one would you want on your page?

New In Our FREE Fundamentals Class

If you haven't yet dived into the world of custom shadows - or if you could use a brush up on some essential techniques - you'll love our new FREE video series featuring custom shadows in Fundamentals.

I hope you have a fabulous week! I hope to see you in the gallery.

Love and creative success,

Jen White, Owner of Digital Scrapper & QwikLearn
