body: <p>Is it possible to apply a css blend mode to an element in a different div?</p>
  
  <p>E.g, I have a large background hero image in one div. Above that image (in a different div) I have a blue semi-transparent box with text in it. This transparent box is what I would like to apply a blend to, but it seems to not work perhaps because they are not in the same div, like in the example <a href="https://css-tricks.com/basics-css-blend-modes/" rel="nofollow">https://css-tricks.com/basics-css-blend-modes/</a></p>
  
  <p>I am working in wordpress, so it will be a bit hard to re-structure the HTML in order to put the image and the colored box in the same div.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know of a trick I can use to achieve this method?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
