NFT card using HTML and CSS

I have limited understanding of how positioning works and getting images to inherit the dimensions of an existing image. Therefore, when I attempted to have the 'view' image appear where the original image was during the hover state, I had to manually move it up and also manually add the padding as I did not know any other way to do it. If there is a much easier way, I am happy to receive any and all feedback! Thank you :)
