How is it done – A gradient border with a single element

It took me a while to figure out how CSS Tricks do these fancy looking gradient borders in their new redesign. And because I want to sharpen my design skills I made a sketch explaining how it works.

Partially related: background clip is configurable for every background gradient separately.

You can play around with it on CodePen.
