Margins/Spacers between table blocks

Hi

I’ve created a block using 2 columns with tables within each. What I want is two columns with an image and text underneath but I want a vertical space between the two columns . I’m almost there but can’t separate the two - see image below.

 

I want to add some vertical white  space between these 2 elements

 

It would be possible to do if the background of the table was white using padding but I’m using that blue colour as the background. So if I insert padding the space between is blue whereas I need it to be white.

I feel like I’m missing something obvious here but let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

Sean

    Hi @BROC, did you try using Block padding?

    Here I put 5px of padding on the right (for the left table).  And then I added 5px of padding on the left (for the right table).  This creates a total of a 10px of space between the two tables in the column.  I’m not sure if this is what you’re trying to do?

    Hi Joseph

    Thanks very much for your suggestion and that’s it! 

    My issue was I was applying the blue background to the block rather than the table. So I applied  the blue background to the table and white to the block. Then as you suggested I applied block padding and I have the below.

    Thanks again for your help!
