December Contest - Christmas Cards!

[Chisa]

Since tis the season to be jolly, this months subject is a Christmas Cards!.

Specifications
Design the front (and inside, if you like) of a Christmas card. It can include anything you like that reminds you of Christmas. If you don't celebrate Christmas, you are welcome to design a card for the winter season (or summer, as it is where I live xd ) or another event occurring at a similar time of year.

This time, you can use stock images not created by you, but please be sure that you are not breaching any rules, and give credit with a link to the orignal image and its creator. Make sure that you do put some work into it though; I don't want to see any scanned Christmas cards :XP

I'd like for anyone in the guild to be able to print out and use any of the cards posted here (for personal use only, of course) so please state clearly if you feel strongly against your entry being used like this.

Submissions are due by the end of Saturday, 1st January. A poll will be run to decide the winner.

The Prize
Should be able to get hold of a December Letter for the prize, but if you have anything you'd like to donate as a prize, pelase PM me.

Rules
1. You may submit as many entries as you like.
2. Entries submitted after the closing date will not be in the running for the prize.
3. I shouldn't have to say this, but please no inappropriate or unoriginal material.

Post your submissions here, and also feel free to discuss any ideas you might have. If you have any suggestions for future contests, please suggest them here.

Good luck to everyone!

Anybody started yet? I haven't even had time to sketch out some concepts crying  

[Chisa]

Woohoo, I actually got some xmas cards done! They feature two of my original characters, one who is yet to be named, and Selene.





I'm working on figuring out the php to set up a customizable e-card thingo, and the To and From will go in the spaces I've left there. I'll share the code here when I get around to figuring it out!

More entries are on their way.
