Dita Von Teese designs greeting card for Blackberry

Stars including Dita Von Teese, piano prodigy Jamie Cullum and British rockers Bloc Party have put their name to a collection of self-illustrated Christmas cards.

The celebrities have teamed up with the makers of mobile communication device Blackberry to design Christmas cards, re-christened B-cards, allowing users to send the greetings to friends and family in the run up to the festive season.

Cullum's card features flying pianos on music manuscript paper; Bloc Party are recreated as cartoons; and Von Teeses' festive treat sees her restyled in animation in an oversized martini glass. The cards can be sent from a Blackberry via www.the-b-card.com.
