is desperately needed, lol! I'm trying to shadow the fine lace found in Julie's "Prairie Fields" kit:

I just can't get it to look right though... everything I tried makes it so dark and heavy looking. Any tips on shadowing lace to make it look nice??

Not sure which program you use but you can try lowering the opacity and blending mode.

Try to decrease the opacity (30%) and add quite low values for distance and size - 8 or 9.

OK... depending on the paper you pick (I chose the graph - same kit) I set my shadow to 30% opacity at Linear Burn, distance 2, spread 0, and size 4.

That looks perfect - wish I had CS, lol! I'm using PSE6, and I have very little for shadow options... sigh!
