how to apply background outside of text

css

I'm a newbie in html & css. I'm trying to code the output in this image https://i.sstatic.net/Qy7Sd.png

The only problem here is that when I add the brick background it also appears on the white portion of the output which I don't want. Here is the code I've written so far:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Terps Calculators Inc</title>
        <style>
           body{padding: 70px; border-style: ridge; border-width: 20px; border-color: grey;}
           header, nav, main, footer{background-color: rgb(254, 189, 173); border: 4px solid grey;}
            header{font-family: Kunstler Script; font-size: 70px; padding: 30px 237px;}
            nav{font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;}
            a:link{color: red;}
            main{padding: 30px 200px; color: black; font-weight: bold;}
            .intro{ font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-size: 30px;}
            p{font-size: 18px;}
            .head{font-weight: bold; font-size: 22px; font-family: arial;}
            .text{font-style: italic;}
            .color{text-decoration: underline; color: red; font-size: 25px; font-style: italic;}
            footer{border: none; text-align: center; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;}
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <header>
            <img src="Burj Khalifa.jpg" width="100px" height="130px"> Terps Calculators Inc. <img src="University of Maryland.png" width="100px" height="100px">

        <main>
            <div class="intro">Introduction</div>
            <p><span class="head">Terps Calculators Inc.</span><span class="text"> implements and provides these calculators for your use. We keep expanding our collection every day, so make sure you stop by often.</span></p>
            <div class="intro">Calculators</div>
            <br><br>
            <img src="Calculator.png" height="60px" width="50px"> <span class="color">&nbsp;Grades Calculator</span>
            <br>
            <img src="Calculator.png" height="60px" width="50px"><span class="color">&nbsp;Interest Calculator</span>
        </main>
        <br>

I think it would be better if you wrapped everything in a div like this:

<div class="wrapper">
    <!-- A lot of content here -->
</div>

Put all the content inside of it, set the margin of the div to about 5-10% so there will be a gap for the bricks to show up, and then set the body's "background" to your brick image.
