Card with Image Cutout

Introduction

In this lab, we will learn how to create a card with an image cutout using HTML and CSS. This lab will teach you how to add a colored background to a container element, create a card with an image and other content, and use the ::before pseudo-element to add a border around the figure element, creating the illusion of a cutout in the card. By the end of this lab, you will have a solid understanding of how to create visually appealing cards with image cutouts.

Card With Image Cutout

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

To create a card with an image cutout, follow these steps:

1. Add a colored background to a .container element using the background property.
2. Create a .card element and add a figure element inside it with the desired image and any other content.
3. Use the ::before pseudo-element to add a border around the figure element. Set the border color to match the .container element's background color to create the illusion of a cutout in the .card.

Here is an example HTML code for the card:

<div class="container">
  <div class="card">
    <figure>
      <img alt="" src="https://picsum.photos/id/447/400/400" />
    </figure>
    <p class="content">
      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit.
    </p>
  </div>
</div>

And here is the corresponding CSS code:

.container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  padding: 96px 24px 48px;
  background: #f3f1fe;
}

.card {
  width: 350px;
  margin: 8px;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  background: #fff;
  border-radius: 10px;
  box-shadow: 0 0 5px -2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

.card figure {
  width: 120px;
  height: 120px;
  margin-top: -60px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  position: relative;
}

.card figure::before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  border-radius: inherit;
  border: 1rem solid #f3f1fe;
  box-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

.card figure img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  border-radius: inherit;
  object-fit: cover;
}

.card .content {
  margin: 2rem;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 1.5;
  color: #101010;
}
