Where do you all get your images for your cards? I can't find any images that I can use without potentially breaking any copyright rules.
But if you're talking about image-based, you can see the author illustrations on the cards themselves. Many Pokémon image fakers either make their own art or partner up with an artist to make the card's art (like me and PMJ). You can also use screenshots from the anime or grab artwork from another resource (such as the artwork posted on the PokémonCardResources dA page that is free to use so long as credit is given).
An extra spot in text!? Sign me up!... Please.
Here's my first CaC entry. 
I had to go with Fire, of course.

^ SON OF A
I was working on a Litwick too :I
Well I guess we'll have to see how this turns out.

Sorry. ;-;
It shouldn't be a problem to both use Litwick, however. There are very few Ghost-type Pokémon so I expect more people to use the same.
[07/10/14 14:28:58] drohn91: im going to enter with litwick
[07/10/14 14:29:09] drohn91: i'll have to check if anyone else already had him though
[07/10/14 14:29:10] Heavenly Spoon: Sounds fine!
[07/10/14 14:29:17] Heavenly Spoon: You can use the same mon.
[07/10/14 14:29:22] Heavenly Spoon: They’re like, what, 20 ghosts?
[07/10/14 14:29:25] Heavenly Spoon: Less?
[07/10/14 14:29:26] drohn91: yea but it will feel less original
[07/10/14 14:29:31] Heavenly Spoon: No it won’t.
[07/10/14 14:29:35] drohn91: k
[07/10/14 14:29:40] drohn91: then I'll use litwick
[07/10/14 14:29:51] Heavenly Spoon: I’m very strict when it comes to originality, and I only care about mechanics, etc.
[07/10/14 14:30:14] Heavenly Spoon: If you use a Pokémon someone else used and use it far more creatively, it’s probably a bonus.

Well this effect worked better as an evolutionary effect anyway.
A little bit of the syntax on the ability threw me off but I think I got the message across at least.
e: edited that last little blurb after the card in there, hope that doesn't count against me
[Stage 1] Lampent - HP 90
Evolves from Litwick
– Heat the Soul
When this Pokémon is played from your hand to evolve Litwick, you may put 1 damage counter for each
Energy attached to that Pokémon on each of your Opponent's Pokémon. You may not use an Ability with the same name during your turn.
- Spirit Kindling – 40
If this attack knocks out your opponent's Active Pokémon, search your deck for a card that evolves from this Pokémon and put it onto this Pokémon. (This counts as evolving this Pokémon.) Shuffle your deck afterward.
Weakness:
x2
Resistance:
-20

Yeah, every edit counts towards the deduction. :/
Here it is. I decided to go with a puppet theme but because we already have Banette...
Shuppet 60HP [P]
Ability: Hidden Puppeteer
This Pokémon can't be played. This Pokémon can't lose this ability.
[ ] Shadow Puppet
When you use this attack say "Pass" instead of announcing that you are using this attack. During your opponents next turn, if your opponent attacks all effects of that attack happen to your opponents active Pokémon. At the end of your opponents next turn this Pokémon is knocked out. You may use this attack even if this Pokémon is in your hand.
This ghost type is a masterful puppeteer. If it starts looking like it's being controlled watch out because it's trying to control you!
Weakness: [P] Resistance: [F] Reatreat:

Stats are not needed on text last time I checked. Retreat is minor enough that it's not worth the edit IMO. Basic... I would edit but because it can't be played it doesn't matter anyways so it's probably better to leave it then take the editing penalty. I'll probably only get 1-3 points off for those anyways.

I was not marked down for not using height/weight in previous CaC's so I'm assuming that this isn't true....
