perspective + rotate

A card that tips towards the cursor

CaveatThe perspective belongs on the parent, not on the card. Put it on the transformed element and every card gets its own vanishing point, so a row of them tilts in visibly different directions.

FallbackText blurs slightly while a 3D transform is applied — the glyphs are being rasterised at a scale they were not hinted for. Keep the angle small and never tilt body copy.

.scene { perspective: 700px; } /* on the parent */

.scene:hover .card {
  rotate: x 9deg;
  box-shadow: 0 18px 30px rgba(0,0,0,.45);
}
