CSS Battle: #7 - Leafy Trail

In this article, I will solve a Leafy Trail CSS Challenge on CSS Battle. Let's look at the problem first.

Problem

We need to create the following container by using CSS Properties only:

Solution

So now look at the Solution and how we are going to achieve this.

HTML

<div class="leaf left"></div>
<div class="leaf middle"></div>
<div class="leaf right"></div>

CSS

Now let's style the leaves.

body{
  margin: 0;
  background: #0B2429;
  display: grid;
  place-items: center;
}   
.leaf {
  position: absolute;
  width: 150;
  height: 150;
  border-radius: 100px 0;
} 
.left {
  z-index: 1;
  background: #1A4341;
  margin-left: -100;
}
.middle {
  z-index: 2;
  background: #998235;
} 
.right{
  z-index:3;
  background: #F3AC3C;
  margin-left: 100;
}

Note: In CSS Battle you can use 100 instead of 100px. You don't need to define px in CSS. However, if you are using rem or %, you need to pass them separately. That's why in the above CSS code there are no units mostly. For more info visit here

Minify the code or CSS by using any CSS Minifier. It helps you to reduce the characters in the code which will increase the score.

Nice solution! You can use ::before and ::after to great effect with challenges like this.

This approach is also a good one. However, I didn't use it because of the character count as before and after, increase the characters in the code.

If lack of lines is what you want you can really shorten it down with box-shadow. Though that's the shortest I think I can go 😁

Now this is cool, one of the best one.

Totally agree, if you want to create logos and all just go with SVGs without hesitation. However in this challange we only use CSS to create a shape.

Peace :)

So what we're saying is we need a html free solution?

[Jatin Sharma]

No, we can use HTML and CSS only. We don't need to use SVG because that's the different thing as there are various tools that allows you to create SVGs very easily. Only HTML and CSS.
