Very well done! 🎊🎉🚀

I have a few suggestions for you:

⭐️ Great job using <main>. I suggest you look into other semantic elements as well. Such widgets as cards are more suited to be constructed with the <article> element, which encapsulates reusable, self-contained content.
⭐️ Titles and headings are usually denoted by <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, and so on. Do not skip levels of headings. Regular text is generally encapsulated by <p>. A card-like widget's most appropriate heading level is likely <h2>.

With that being said, I would redo your code as so:

<body>
  <main id="container">
    <h1 class="visually-hidden">Frontend Mentor project submission</h1>
    <article class="card">
      <img src="./images/image-qr-code.png" alt="QR Code">
      <h2>Improve your front-end skills by building projects</h3>
      <p>Scan the QR code to visit Frontend Mentor and take your coding skills to the next level</p>
    </article>
  </main>
  <footer class="attribution">
      ... attribution goes here
  </footer>
</body>

As mentioned above, the <h2> heading is the most appropriate for the card-like widget. To avoid breaking hierarchy heading rules, I added an invisible <h1> heading to announce "Frontend mentor project submission" to accessibility users. Visually hidden class (it is also called sr-only which is "screen reader only") for the <h1> :

.visually-hidden {
  position: absolute;
  width: 1px;
  height: 1px;
  padding: 0;
  margin: -1px;
  overflow: hidden;
  clip: rect(0, 0, 0, 0);
  white-space: nowrap;
  border: 0;
}

Please remember that block-level elements stack one on top of the other. The only element not block level within the card is <img>, which could be "converted" to block level through a simple reset. You should not hard-set the image size since it makes images unresponsive. You could use the following reset:

img {
    display: block;
    max-width: 100%;   /* ensures images does not overflow the container */
}

⭐️ Great job using Flex to place the card in the center. Due to the 100vh height, you have a slight clipping issue on smaller heights. To fix it, you may use height: max(500px, 100vh); instead.
⭐️ Consider using REM units for margin and padding.
⭐️ Great job using custom global variables. 👍

Otherwise, very well done!🎊 Keep it up!👏 I hope you find my comments useful 🫶
