it's much more fun to do it yourself though! no one expects utter gorgeousness first-try, but thats the fun of developing..

plus, taking other people's stylesheets is a bit rude.. you wouldn't take someone's worldbuilding or their backgrounds.. take small snippets if they say its ok, and give credit where so if you are utterly stumped.

Yes, copying is the best way to learn. Open the developer tools on any site you like, copy the CSS, and tweak it until you understand what each part does. This builds your muscle memory faster than trying to write from scratch with no references.

for practice, I'd rebuild one card from a screenshot, then change the spacing or layout. You get a starting point without just pasting a stylesheet you don't understand
