Send card to the back once slicer selected, so the user can hoover over visual

I have a card, and once a name is selected from the slicer, the card goes transparent so the visual can be seen. However, the user is unable to hoover over the visual as the card is still infront. 

 

How do I send the card to the back or how can I fix this please?

Hi @daniellamoore29 
This is a known disadvantage of this method of "hiding visuals"

Unfortunately, this is no option to " send it back".

As an alternative, you can just make the graph blank and put the message of choosing an indicator to the title.

The workaround's steps:

1. Creating a flag measure that indicates if there are some selections on the slicer :

SelectionChek = if(isfiltered('Table'[needed categories to select]),1,0)
2. Creating a measure for a graph that returning blank when there are no value  selected
graph measure= if (CALCULATE([SelectionChek],ALLSELECTED('Table'[vale from slicer]))=1, [needed calculation to put on the graph]), blank())
3. Creating the title with message or graph heather
title = if(ISBLANK([graph measure]), "Please select needed indicators", "graphs heather")
 4. with conditional formatting make the message highlighted with red.
