Modern CSS Transform Effects
2D and 3D transforms - tilts, cubes, perspective and chained motion - driven only by hover and keyframes.
1Matrix Transform
Uses a single matrix() to scale, skew and lift a tile at once on hover. Class: fx-matrix-transform

<a href="#" class="fx-matrix-transform d-block text-decoration-none rounded-4 p-4 text-white" style="width:13rem;background:linear-gradient(135deg, var(--wt-primary), var(--wt-secondary))">
<div class="fs-2">
<i class="bi bi-bounding-box" aria-hidden="true"></i>
