Slightlymagic.net/HQScans
there's a section there to get hq scans of lots of Magic cards all processed for Magic Workstation. You'll have to get the MWSPA (Magic Workstation Picture Assistant; free download), but it's well worth it. I can personally vouch for its amazeitude.
Due to an ovewhelming number of female inquiries (in an MTG forum, one is overwhelming), i am inclined to let people know that i am in a committed relationship.
Wow, has this taken off ... just WOW !!! I love this thread. And you remembered my shrine I've never felt so ... so ... never mind. You did a job on the cards. Umezawa's jitte never looked so good. Great work.
EDIT: Yup, I loved them soo much I took the time and added smilies! You know you're good then.
just one thing: the originals didnt have a blur at the bottom, but instead a semi-transparent pattern that was put over the text area. in the case of both of those, it was gold-ish, but i assume that it can be any color. play with the ripple generators + could render in photoshop for a good effect.

Also, about the text box overlay thing, I had played with it and didn't really like the way it came out, it seems to detract more from the art then a blur does, I also dont like the way it looks on the 2 real cards, it looks like magic cards do when they stain with something, it gives it a washed out appearance.
Virot, I think timestop would be way better if you centered the text like on the Core Set cards. You can make it bigger, too, like *oh sorry, just to know for sure you can read it*
Everyone: Here are all 5 'Pit Fighter' legends from Onslaught, I figured Visara and Arcanis where done, why not do the rest? I am going to try to do the 10 guild leaders from ravnica and maybe the 10 guild champions as well. It is harder doing the gold border fades though, so they may be sporadic. Any suggestions in the meantime?
Borgman: I was actually thinking of centering the text on timestop, the only thing that stopped me was that the point of these borders is to feature the art, and so I considered making the text a more prominent feature to go against the reason for the alt frames. But, I almost did it anyway. I might make some cards like that in the future though.
Hodoku: I did play around with the color overlays like I said, but I didnt really like how it looked enough to use it, I prefer the blur as it retains the color values of the original artwork. Also, not only am I gay, I am the founding member of the Gaymers clan.
Well, im in multivariable calc right now, and its boring as hell, and i somehow have wireless, so i decided to do these in a sec (100% MY work - thank god for scanners!) As a side note- YAY for CoPs, the cards everyone loves when they start magic. You KNOW you had a CoP deck way back when...
As for gaymers
i have several mental disorders, and because of them, im not regarded as "normal" by society's standards. Homosexuality has a proven biological component, and it *used* to be considered a disorder, until the world got politically correct. I suppose its just beacuse I'm sick of political correctness that i hate things like that so much. That and, while I don't claim to be normal, someone with a biologically similar brain disorder is.. i dont give a damn about what they do, i jsut find it offensive to us abnormal people that homosexuals wont accept that its a disorder, and refuse to see it any other way. I hope thats calm/clear

Lol, I already had planned to do a textless CoP series, but I failed to find good art for them, as I wanted to keep some sort of natural feel to them. I believe the 4th or 5th edition CoP had those nature related things. Anyway, point is, I don't like the promo frame, I like the textless frame MUCH better. Do you think you could do a few of those too?

Here is Jitte plus an alt-art Serra

You seem to like angel as much as me!
You surely already did an Exalted Angel then? If not then it's now a request.
Thx a lot, your cards are great.

P.S. Why don't you like gaymers?

P.S. I need decent sized art for Lyzolda
working from scratch or do u have a template?
the only problem i have with those is that they are WAYY too wordy >_<
Yeah, I never noticed how wordy the guild legends are, wow.
Edit: I used to use a kind of textless frame, here are some samples:
