Social links profile card with the figure element and some flexbox

Solution retrospective
I am proud of how close I got to the design guide and the process I used to get there. I felt like I was a lot quicker at setting up the HTML and that allowed me to focus on the CSS as early as possible. I think I am starting to get the hang of these small "card" challenges.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?I was debating whether to use a list or plain flexbox for the social links. I found that the flexbox way was easier to style this time around. Towards the end I noticed that I didn't have as much space at the bottom of the card as the images, so I had to increase the height of the card to get it to match. I had to use a lot of random values for spacing the text properly like 0.3em or 0.7rem. I don't want to get in the habit of hacking it together with random values, if I can help it.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?I am starting to notice how useful CSS variables can be. I know it doesn't apply as much in smaller challenges, but I want to learn how CSS variables are named/organized in larger projects to make things more consistent. Like usual, I could always use feedback on how the HTML as structured and if I did anything messy or unnecessary in the CSS.
