UWP: Set both background color and image?

In a universal windows app, I need to set both background color and image (with some transparency) for a border element.

How can I create a brush that contains both? I have unsuccessfully tried using the Compositor class. But I can't figure it out.

Surrounding the image with border helps in getting the background color in image.

<Border Background="Gray">
<Image Stretch="Fill" /></Border>

I'm not sure what you've been doing with that brushes, but you could just place the Grid above an Image and set an Opacity property of the Grid to value between 0.0 (hidden) and 1.0 (fully visible).

<Image Source="Assets/YourImage" />
<Grid Background="Black" Opacity="0.5">
    <!-- Your code here -->
</Grid>
