What I learned

Color Banner on each card

Instead of using-border, I learned form @MikDra1

• Create a Wrapper Element for Each Card: Ensure each card is positioned relatively. This allows for absolute positioning of child elements.

• Add a Decorative Element for the Line: Inside each card, create an additional element (e.g., <div class="line"></div>).

• Style the Decorative Element:

  • Set the position to absolute.
  • Apply the following styles:
    • height: 3px;
    • width: 100%;
    • top: 0;
    • left: 0;
    • background-color: [desired color]; (e.g., black)

• Positioning and Sizing:

  • Ensure the card has position: relative; to serve as a reference point for the absolute positioning of the decorative element.

• Alternative with Pseudo-Elements:

  • If preferred, use ::before or ::after pseudo-elements to create the line:

    .card {
      position: relative;
    }
    
    .card::before {
      content: "";
      position: absolute;
      height: 3px;
      width: 100%;
      top: 0;
      left: 0;
      background-color: [desired color];
    }

This approach ensures that each card has a straight line at the top, and the use of relative and absolute positioning keeps the layout organized and consistent.
