Creating Shading around Images

Hi Friends!!  I just wanted to share a simple, but cute little card.  If you are interested in purchasing this precious digi stamp please click here.  I only added 5 layers of paper, created a paper flower, a banner and added a few pearls to create this cute card.  Hope you guys like it!

.

I added a very light shading of blue around all of my images to give the illusion of the bright blue sky behind them.  I also added grass to give them something to stand on.  Sometimes I use grey's as a shading background if I just want to give them something to stand on.  Hope you like this idea and try it.  Have a great day!
