First, open a new document and drag the element file onto it.
Next, right-click on the element layer and choose "Blending Options," then "Drop Shadow." Apply the following settings:
Blending Mode: Multiply
Color: Black
Angle: 120 degrees
Distance: 10px
Spread: 0%
Size: 20px
Then, click OK.
Back to the Layers Palette, right-click on the Effects section of the element layer and choose "Create Layer" from the menu. Click OK to accept.
This will separate the drop shadow onto its own layer. Now you can freely transform the shadow without affecting the original image.
With the Drop Shadow layer selected, go to Edit> Free Transform. Drag the top of the boundary box to about the middle of the object.
Nudge the drop shadow upward so that the bottom is hidden behind the pot. The drop shadow should already look more three-dimensional.
Next, go to Edit> Transform> Skew. Drag the top of the boundary box and move to the left or right. You will see the top of the shadow move likewise. The embellishment and its shadow are now ready to be used in your next digital scrapbooking layout.
