I would urge caution in the use of CC licenses since various licenses are
GPL incompatible and releasingly things into the Public Domain prevents
you from making a limited liability disclaimer (madness!).

Nicu responded to your licensing questions but perhaps out of modestly
failed to mention the excellent card sets he has contributed to
OpenClipart.org

Artwork from OpenClipart.org can be used freely and for any purpose as it
has been released into the Public Domain.

I would avoid the confusion and skip straight over to Openclipart.org
(note: I may be slightly biased ;)
