Issue
I am using ::before as an overlay, but I face a problem where the overlay cover all the card including the content (texts), but I just want to cover the background of the card. I can’t select any text because of this problem.
/* left-to-right effect box */
.ltr-effect {
position: relative;
}
.ltr-effect::before {
content: "";
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 0%;
height: 100%;
background-color:rgba(215, 227, 250, 0.53);
transition: width 0.5s;
}
.ltr-effect:hover::before {
width: 100%;
}
/* card */
.service-content-box {
text-align: center;
border: 2px solid rgb(208, 228, 228);
background-color: #22beff;
border-radius: 10px;
padding: 30px;
font-size: 1.3em;
width: calc(90%/3);
margin-right: 5%;
position: relative;
}
/* content of services */
.service-content-box .service-title {
text-transform: capitalize;
margin-bottom: 10px;
font-size: 2em;
}
.service-content-box .service-desribtion {
line-height: 30px;
}
.service-content-box a {
margin: 7px 0px;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: capitalize;
} <section class="services">
<div class="services-content">
<div class="service-content-box ltr-effect">
<i class="fa fa-solid fa-book-open"></i>
<h4 class="service-title mg-b-10">fast reading</h4>

You coud set a position: relative; z-index: 1; to elements in the card that you don’t wanna cover with the overlay.
You need z-index to make them came up front, and as you may already know, z-index works only with non static positions. That’s why I’m using that relative position.
/* left-to-right effect box */
.ltr-effect {
position: relative;
}
.ltr-effect::before {
content: "";
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 0%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgba(215, 227, 250, 0.53);
transition: width 0.5s;
}
.ltr-effect:hover::before {
width: 100%;
}
/* card */
.service-content-box {
text-align: center;
border: 2px solid rgb(208, 228, 228);
background-color: #22beff;
border-radius: 10px;
padding: 30px;
font-size: 1.3em;
width: calc(90% / 3);
margin-right: 5%;
position: relative;
}
/* content of services */
.service-content-box .service-title {
text-transform: capitalize;
margin-bottom: 10px;
font-size: 2em;
position:relative;
z-index:1;
}
.service-content-box .service-desribtion {
line-height: 30px;
position:relative;
z-index:1;
}
.service-content-box a {
margin: 7px 0px;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: capitalize;
position:relative;
z-index:1;
