I did the same "shadow" thing in my house with jambs and baseboards using Trimtex z bead [1]. It was not the easiest thing to find, but two drywall supply stores within forty minutes drive stocked it in 1/2 and would bring in other sizes if you were to buy a whole case. (Incidentally, I still have half a case lying around if anyone wants to haul it out.)
If I were to do it again, I would try and use aluminum profile instead of the vinyl. The benefits of vinyl is three times less cost and much simpler installation. However, at least at my skill level, it is painfully hard to get consistently straight lines. Your mileage my vary.

Unless you can find a supply house with z bead in town that has it in stock you have to buy a whole case…I spent a half day running around Cincinnati and calling all supply houses to find nothing.?
To make a shadow gap I ended up using L bead to make a half inch shadow gap where I used flashing to cover up the exposed joint on a hood I am making for my kitchen where old and new drywall meet a vaulted wall section.?
