Isometric Card

index.html and style.css have already been provided in the VM.

To create an isometric card, use transform with rotateX() and rotateZ() along with a box-shadow. You can also add a transition to animate the card and create a lift effect when the user hovers over it.

Here's an example code snippet:

<div class="isometric-card"></div>
.isometric-card {
  margin: 0 auto;
  transform: rotateX(51deg) rotateZ(43deg);
  transform-style: preserve-3d;
  background-color: #fcfcfc;
  will-change: transform;
  width: 240px;
  height: 320px;
  border-radius: 2rem;
  box-shadow:
    1px 1px 0 1px #f9f9fb,
    -1px 0 28px 0 rgba(34, 33, 81, 0.01),
    28px 28px 28px 0 rgba(34, 33, 81, 0.25);
  transition:
    transform 0.4s ease-in-out,
    box-shadow 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

.isometric-card:hover {
  transform: translate3d(0px, -16px, 0px) rotateX(51deg) rotateZ(43deg);
  box-shadow:
    1px 1px 0 1px #f9f9fb,
    -1px 0 28px 0 rgba(34, 33, 81, 0.01),
    54px 54px 28px -10px rgba(34, 33, 81, 0.15);
}
