Hover effect not working

Hey everyone

I've been having troubles with a hover effect Im designing for my card component.

It seems that it stops working after Im adding a link to my card (I want it to lead to a different page when clicked)

Component preview of hover effect is working
And it was working as well when I was previewing the component on my homepage BEFORE I added the link to the card

I rebuilt the component from scratch, all was good, again before I added the Link variable

Any thoughts on how to deal with it?

Thanks!
