title: Can you create this element in an email with html/css?
body: <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/JPwQl.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/JPwQl.png" alt="email design"></a></p>
  
  <p>The element I'm referring to is the <strong>offset box that is positioned above, to the left and below the main box</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Now creating this with regular HTML and CSS is super easy using absolute positioning and z-index.</p>
  
  <p>However, in email HTML, where you're basically restricted to tables, I can't figure it out. Absolute positioning doesn't appear to be allowed. Most email clients strip it out. I'm not even sure if negative positioning is allowed.</p>
  
  <p>How would you create this? Is it possible/worth even trying?</p>
