From the **Style** and **Background Style** sections, control the overall card appearance. From the **Text Style** section, manage text-specific styling: set the typography, color, and text shadow for normal and hover states. For hover effects that change the card background image instead of text, see [How to Change Background Image on Hover in Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/change-background-image-on-hover-in-elementor/).

Use the **Custom Hover** option to trigger a hover effect by adding a parent container class name. It works the same way as the Background Style custom hover option. [Learn the process](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/add-hover-effect-with-custom-hover-class-in-elementor-hover-card/).

> *Note: When the open tag is set as ****None****, the text style option will not be available.*
