Padding an image in Bootstrap with background colour - html

Question

Couldn't find an answer to this so..
It's probably a very simple solution but I've been tunnel visioning for the past 20 minutes and it's frustrating me.
The padding of an image, which I'm trying to give a circle background element, is really annoying.
Margin doesn't work either.
My image is 120 px large, and the padding of 2em just makes it smaller, but I want it to stay the same size, but have a bigger background size.
Here's the code:
<div class="row">
</div class="container-fluid">
<div class="col-md-4 img-icon-pad">
<img src="img/icons/html.png" class="img-responsive img-icons" />
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<img src="img/icons/html.png" class="img-responsive img-icons" />
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<img src="img/icons/html.png" class="img-responsive img-icons" />
</div>
</div>
/* Boxes */
.img-icons {
height: 120px;
width: auto;
background-color: #f8f8ec;
border: 2px solid #e97117;
padding: 2em;
border-radius: 50%;
}
.img-icon-pad {
}
And a screenshot of what I mean:

Answer 1

I think it is ok
<div class="row">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="col-md-4 ">
<div class="thumbnail">
<img src="img/icons/html.png" class="img-responsive img-icons" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<img src="img/icons/html.png" class="img-responsive img-icons" />
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<img src="img/icons/html.png" class="img-responsive img-icons" />
</div>
</div>
<style>
.thumbnail {
height: 150px;
width: 150px;
border: 2px solid #e97117;
background-color: #f8f8ec;
padding: 2em;
}
</style>

Answer 2

Did you increase the height of .img-icons class from 120 to 150px or bigger if you want.
If that doesn't work then you have probably restricted size of the div containing the img.

Answer 3

I was going to say that in .img-icons class you have width set to auto. This may be causing resizing. If you set it to a fixed width it may not resize.

Answer 4

i think this is what are you trying to do :
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="img-responsive img-icons" >
<div class="img">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
css:
.img-icons {
height: 120px;
width:120px;
background-color: #f8f8ec;
border: 2px solid #e97117;
border-radius: 50%;
padding: 2em;
}
.img{
text-align:center;
height:120px;
width:120px;
background-color: #f8f8ec;
border: 2px solid #e97117;
}
