Add a Drop Shadow to elements

I used these Settings:  2/2/40/2/Black

Select paper of choice for your mask

I used paper  12

New Raster layer - Move to Bottom - Selections - Select All

C/P  P  Into Selection

Select Mask of choice

Layers - Load Mask - Load from Disk - select your mask 

or Open up mask and Minimize it to your work space

Layers - New Mask Layer - From Image then find your mask - OK

Layers - Merge - Merge Group

Selections - Select None

Layers - Merge - Merge Visible  

Crop - Resize - Sharpen if preferred

I always use  Adjust - Sharpen - UnSharp Mask  to sharpen

Settings - Radius 4.00  Strength usually between 16 - 20  Clipping 5

I find this doesn't leave the sharp edge that just using Sharpen does
