What I learned

Before this, I use ::before selector to add color on the image :

.card {
    &__image {
        background-image: url('../images/image-header-mobile.jpg');
        &::before {
            content: '';
            background-color: var(--softviolet);
            display: block;
            width: 100%;
            height: 100%;
        }
    }
}

But, I found a way to make the css code shorter using the background-blend-mode as below :

.card {
    &__image {
        background-color: var(--softviolet);
        background-blend-mode: multiply;
        background-image: url('../images/image-header-mobile.jpg');
    }
}

Continued development

I found that flexbox can help me to create website layout. So, I think I should improve my knowledge on flexbox.

Useful resources

• A Complete Guide to Flexbox - This website help me a lot to understand more about flexbox. The guide involve flexbox basic, terms and other that useful for the beginner.
• background-blend-mode - Since in this challenge need me to add color to the image, I found this website help me to get better understanding about background blend.
• background-image - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN - MDN Web Docs providing lot of information about website and I think this help a lot.
