Transparent background of <div> CSS

Question

For those who can't wait Fiddle

I have this problem in CSS. The structure of the html and css code looks like this

HTML:

<div class="one">
    <div class="two">
        <div class="three">

        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

.one{
    width: 500px;
    height: 500px;
    background: url('http://www.moonlightcompanies.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/6973_MOONF-PomegranatesOnTree-8536-1.jpg');
    background-size: cover;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    padding: 20px;
}

.two{
    width: 300px;
    height: 300px;
    background: blue;
    padding: 20px;
}

.three{
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    background: transparent;
    padding: 20px;
    border: 5px solid yellow;
}

My problem is how do I make the background of <div class="three"></div> that it would be transparent and would blend to the background of the <div class="one"></div> . I want my desired output to be like the attached image. Is this possible ?

Answer 1

You can try like this: Demo

.three{
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    background: transparent;
    padding: 20px;
    border: 5px solid yellow;
    outline:solid 100px rgba(0,0,255,.5);
}

update the border value as per your requirement.

Updated Demo

.three {
    background: transparent;
    border: solid blue;
    margin: 10px 0px;
    border-width:20px 40px 40px 20px;
}
.inner {
    outline: 5px solid yellow;
    width: 200px;
    height: 60px;
    margin:0;
    padding: 20px;
}

I have added :before and :after also for blue background in right and bottom, so that more content can be added in the second div .

Answer 3

As per your updated fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/ouy9thkk/14/

I have used box shadow to achieve the expected result.

HTML

<div class="one">
    <div class="two">
        <div class="three"></div>
        <div class="three"></div>
        <div class="three"></div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS

.one{
    width: 800px;
    height:800px;
    background: url('http://www.moonlightcompanies.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/6973_MOONF-PomegranatesOnTree-8536-1.jpg');
    background-size: cover;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    padding: 20px;
}

.two{
    width: 300px;
    height: 300px;
    padding: 20px;
}

.three{
    width: 200px;
    height: 80px;
    background: transparent;
    padding: 20px;
    margin-bottom:30px;
    border: 5px solid yellow;
    box-shadow: 10px 0px 0 30px blue
}

Answer 5

Closest I could get with this particular case:

.two{
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
background: trasparent;
padding: 0px;
border-top: 20px solid blue;
border-right: 60px solid blue;
border-bottom: 60px solid blue;
border-left: 20px solid blue;
}
