      The hover styling of the card is not set unless the button is hovered. Keep in mind this technique disables the ability to open the image-specific context menu when the image is right-clicked (Thanks Šime Vidas for  <a href="https://twitter.com/simevidas/status/1020867060614811649" target="_blank">pointing that out</a>).
