Image with block overlapping design issue - html

Question

Morning all,
I am currently having trouble with aligning a div inside a container which has a background image. Currently they are sitting side-by-side and I can't get them to align properly, I have attached an image of what I am trying to achieve, it is kind-of there but I just need the alignment to work properly :( - could anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
What I am trying to achieve:
.card {
position: relative;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
float: left;
margin: (30px) 0;
width: 45%;
#media #{$BPD} {
margin: 2.5%;
}
#media #{$MaxBPD} {
width: 100%;
}
&:before {
content: "";
width: 1px;
margin-left: -1px;
float: left;
height: 0;
#media #{$BPD} {
padding-top: 30px / 30px * 100%;
}
}
&:after {
content: "";
display: table;
clear: both;
}
}
.card--cta {
#extend .card;
display: block;
padding: 0 !important;
.card--cta-block {
display: block;
padding: 49px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid;
&:last-child {
border-bottom: 0;
}
}
.card--image {
margin: 0;
}
}
.card.card--quote {
display: flex;
background: $brand-white;
padding: 48px 24px;
border: 3px solid black;
align-items: center;
#media #{$MaxBPB} {
padding: 50px 25px;
}
img {
z-index: -1;
}
div {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
h2 {
margin-bottom: 49px;
line-height: 49px;
}
p {
margin: 30px 0;
line-height: 30px;
}
}
}
<div class="card--cta">
<div class="card card--image">
<picture>
<img src="//picsum.photos/400/400/?random" alt="" />
</picture>
</div>
<div class="card card--cta">
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 1</h3>
</div>
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 2</h3>
</div>
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 3</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Answer 1

Add 2 (abc, def) classes, on the elements shown below
<div class="card--cta abc">
<div class="card card--image">
<picture>
<img src="//picsum.photos/400/400/?random" alt="" />
</picture>
</div>
<div class="card card--cta def">
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 1</h3>
</div>
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 2</h3>
</div>
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 3</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
and add these 2 styles
.abc {
position: relative;
}
.def {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
}

Answer 2

Is this what you want?
.card--cta{
position: relative;
}
.divbox{
position:absolute;
top: 0;
left : 0;
width : 100%;
height: 100%;
display : flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.divbox div{
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 20px;
}
<div class="card--cta">
<div class="card card--image">
<picture style="width: 100%;">
<img style="width: inherit;" src="//picsum.photos/400/400/?random" alt="" />
</picture>
</div>
<div class="card card--cta divbox">
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 1</h3>
</div>
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 2</h3>
</div>
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 3</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Answer 3

If you are comfortable modifying your HTML structure. then try using following styles:
<div class="container ">
<div style="font-size:36px; width:300px;margin: 0 auto;">
<h3>Block text 1</h3>
<h3>Block text 2</h3>
<h3>Block text 3</h3>
</div>
</div>
<style>
.container {
/* The image used */
background-image: url("//picsum.photos/400/400/?random");
/* Set a specific height */
min-height: 500px;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
</style>

Here's what I came up with, I ended up switching quite a lot of values around, but I basically used flexbox to center everything. I don't know however if it will work with your compiled CSS as you only provided SCSS.
The relevant CSS I added is in the bottom.
Anways here it is:
.card {
position: relative;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
float: left;
margin: (30px) 0;
#media #{$BPD} {
margin: 2.5%;
}
#media #{$MaxBPD} {
width: 100%;
}
&:before {
content: "";
width: 1px;
margin-left: -1px;
float: left;
height: 0;
#media #{$BPD} {
padding-top: 30px / 30px * 100%;
}
}
&:after {
content: "";
display: table;
clear: both;
}
}
.card--cta {
#extend .card;
display: block;
padding: 0 !important;
.card--cta-block {
display: block;
padding: 49px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid;
&:last-child {
border-bottom: 0;
}
}
.card--image {
margin: 0;
}
}
.card.card--quote {
display: flex;
background: $brand-white;
padding: 48px 24px;
border: 3px solid black;
align-items: center;
#media #{$MaxBPB} {
padding: 50px 25px;
}
img {
z-index: -1;
}
div {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
h2 {
margin-bottom: 49px;
line-height: 49px;
}
p {
margin: 30px 0;
line-height: 30px;
}
}
}
.card--cta {
align-items: center;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
}
.card--cta-block {
align-items: center;
display: flex;
flex: 1;
justify-content: center;
}
.card.card--cta {
height: 516px;
width: 516px;
align-items: stretch;
background: #fff;
position: absolute;
}
<div class="card--cta">
<div class="card card--image">
<picture>
<img src="//picsum.photos/600/600/?random" alt="" />
</picture>
</div>
<div class="card card--cta">
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 1</h3>
</div>
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 2</h3>
</div>
<div class="card--cta-block">
<h3>Block text 3</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
