+## Outline variants
+
+In need of a colored card, but not the hefty background colors they bring? Replace the default modifier classes with the `.card-*-outline` ones to style just the `border-color` of a card.

 ## Groups
 
 Use card groups to render cards as a single, attached element with equal width and height columns. By default, card groups use `display: table;` and `table-layout: fixed;` to achieve their uniform sizing. However, enabling [flexbox mode]({{ site.baseurl }}/getting-started/flexbox) can switch that to use `display: flex;` and provide the same effect.
