• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

One new thing I came across while building this card, is that in terms of accessibility, it is important to distinguish between meaningful and decorative images. Screen readers will ignore decorative images. A decorative image does not add to the functionality or the content of a web page. Using an empty alt attribute will set an image as decorative.

Continued development

• Do more small projects like this one to practice flexbox and grid.
• Keep reading up on Accessibility

Useful resources

• W3Schools - This helped me design this card for accessibility. Still reading up on it and will keep updating if need be.
• W3Docs - This helped me figure out how to do the image overlay with background colour and icon.
