Ok on the shadow layers, here's where it gets a bit tricky.


Create a new layer below the card layer.

Turn off the card layer.

Turn off the card layers gradient (that we just made above)

With the new layer we just created selected/highlighted, click the card layers thumbnail to make a selection.

Again with the Gradient Tool, create a stronger gradient than we did before.

Duplicate this layer. (Cmd/Cntrl + J)

I would name the layers shadow 1 and shadow 2


Turn on the Card layer.

Turn on the card layers gradient.


Now select the shadow 1 layer.

Enter free transform.

Right click and choose distort.

Grab the middle top handle and move the downwards and to the left.

Hit the check mark or enter to accept the changes.


Repeat the above process for shadow 2 layer.

I would use a guide line to get them even.

Now all you need to do is add a Gaussian Blur to both shadow layer and lower their opacities.

I did forget to mention that I added a Bevel and emboss layer style to the card layer.


If you have any question, please ask.


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
