ComboStrap Styling - Shadow attribute (Elevation)

shadow (known also as elevation) is a styling attribute that elevates a block.
It adds a shadow and gives the block more emphasis.
As color, it helps prioritizing the components on your page in order to guide the viewer's eyes.
It's mostly used on a call-to-action component such as a button.
