Thanks for your challenge!
What a fantastic white space page, Véronique - I love all the layering and the colors - your warped shadows turn out great and gave these elements a bit more depth.
Thank you so much for taking part in the challenge.

I made changes to the turtle's shadow as requested; hopefully this looks a little more realistic. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to warp an oddly-shaped shadow like that!
What a gorgeous page, Sharon and what a cute photo - I like your use of the Childhood Wonder Kit. Your warped shadows are fantastic and creative.
Thank you so much for taking part in the challenge.

I warped the shadows on the bow and the stars.
Gorgeous page and what a cute little girl - so busy LOL. I like the clear design and the elements with the warped shadows turn out great.
Thank you so much for taking part in the challenge.

What a gorgeous page with these beautiful photos and I know - when it rains in California it pours. My granddaughters are happy when they can jump in the puddles. You warped the shadows on the frames in perfection - well done.
Thank you so much for taking part in the challenge.

I had fun with this one! I warped the shadows of most of the elements.

Gorgeous page, Ane - and what a beautiful photo in the wooden frame. I like your clustering and the warped shadows. I'm glad you had fun.
Thank you so much for taking part in the challenge.

Hi Gina, thank you for sharing the Shadow techniques. I am familiar with Warp and Distort but had completely forgotten about Liquify. My layout is similar to yours as I wanted to focus on the techniques :) I used Liquify for the papers, Warp for the ribbon and leaves.

What a gorgeous page, Donna - although your program only had limited options for a warped shadow, you did a great job. I like the great photos, the journaling and the chosen elements.
Thank you so much for taking part in the challenge.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks to Bright Eyes who listed how she made her own shadow! I have PS Elements 2023 and it does not have a way to put the shadow on a separate layer. I tried several things but none of then would put the shadow in its own layer. I had to duplicate the bow and the rope in a separate layer, removed the color and made it slightly larger and used skew to change it slightly. I lowered the opacity and placed it under the bow and the rope. Not really the look that I was hoping for but hope it is ok for the challenge.
