Shadow - white instead of black

As tutorials go, that is a good example. It uses standard Gimp tools, introduces bump-mapping, layer-masks and use of layers.

   
For variations.

1. The newbackground layer can be whatever you want in the way of colour, pattern, some other image.

2. For the drop shadow, I think there is a step missing. For a white shadow, obviously no need to invert the colours.
What you do need to do is remove the background using Colors ->  Color To Alpha and in that dialogue change the default white to black.

I think you will need to gaussian blur that shadow layer (2) a bit more but that is personal preference.

Changing the colour of the shadow? Several ways, one is use the alpha lock see: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-dialogs-structure.html enable that, paint over the drop shadow, toggle the alpha lock back off.
