ISO: specific shadowing tutorial

[inkspots]

I posted this on another site, but then realized that they probably can't really outside link. I'm looking for a shadowing tutorial, but not of the usual sort. I want to add extra shadows to those items, like string, word art, that are being "wrapped around" somehting? Does that make sense? Also, is it possible to put lumps in pages? I recently did a page with flags behind it, can I "raise" my paper a bit to get the look of the poles behind it? I need step by step, with photos (I'm a visual learner). I work with PS5. Thanks so much!!! I'm really trying to get my shadowing improved.


Thanks!
