Double box/border? Is this possible in CSS?

Question

I\'m trying to recreate this image in CSS.

This is what I got from experimenting, so far. I used box-shadow to act as the second box. I\'m not sure if there\'s a bet

Answer 1

You can achieve this via absolutely position pseudo element. Also avoid property duplication via CSS inheritance.

.border {
  text-align: center;
  border: solid 3px black;
  border-radius: 5px;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-weight: 600;
  color: black;
  letter-spacing: 2px;
  padding: 20px 15px;
  margin: 15px 15px;
  background: white;
  
  position: relative; /* new */
}

/* new */
.border:after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  display: block;
  background: inherit;
  border-radius: inherit;
  border: inherit;
  left: 2px;
  top: 2px;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  z-index: -1;
}
