Could someone post a blank template of the cards, please?  I can not get rid of the white text. 

I have a decent image, I think.  It's posted below.  My idea was to make a card that acts as a semi-permanent, like Unstable gas, called Whirlpool.  It targets up to three creatures.  Those creatures are trapped in a whirlpool for three turns and cannot attack or use skills.  With two aether quanta, it will deal two damage to all of the target creatures.  That's just an idea and is subject to change.

You can use the icons for card ideas etc. if you want to use them for something other than elements that might cause issues

No, and no.

On that website, there's a lot of imagery that isn't the author's. Some of the original artists I know wouldn't give permission for things like this due to the commercial nature of their work. Using imagery from this website should be considered a very bad idea.

Here are some of my vector works of the Elements 120x120 icons. They are all PSD documents, but break up each icon into basic parts(background gradient, dark outline, highlight, symbol) Along with pen paths, I believe. I'm still creating the rest of them, but here is my thread that has 8 done.

Just found this website:
http://www.freedigitalphotos.net

some good photos to work with. You can get 'good' versions by paying, but free version at absolutely fine for this size. Only thing you have to do is credit artist:

"If you use a free version of an image you must acknowledge the image creator and FreeDigitalPhotos.net. This is mandatory and forms part of the user agreement. We insist on this because it is a fair way of rewarding the contributor who has kindly offered their work to you at no charge
If you purchase the image acknowledgement is optional."

By default, no. Deviantart's art is copyrighted, so you'd have to ask the artist for permission to use their, or browse the stock section (http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/) for photos you're allowed to use.

Overall, it's a lot easier to use the art here or www.sxc.hu instead.
