I was completely stumped this week by the Saturday work out theme of a raster screen. I tried translating it on Google and everything!
Luckily Hilda stepped in and informed us that it meant the masking technique.
I use masks quite often .... but to make a card obviously masked is a whole other ball game!
After racking my brain with what to do I settled on Michelle Zindorf's tutorials - no one masks quite like Michelle and although this card is completely different from the one I was inspired by - the masking in circles is all Michelle's idea. Gawd Bless her - she saved the day yet again!!!
I am rambling - sorry!
Anyways this is my card .... the text stamp is from the Artistic Stamper .... Don't you just love these words????
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday peeps - I am off to devour a Sunday Roast :0)
Edit: I am not sure but I think the original translation of Raster may have been wrong. Looking at the other entries I now think that Raster may mean Grid and not mask!
As a result I have made a card using a grid and a mask .... bit belt and braces, I know .... but I always think it is best to be sure :0)
This second card is covered with my current favourite stamp from the Stitchels range. You will see this appearing a lot - because I love it :0)
My roast dinner was delicious by the way :0)

Wow Linda what an amazing Raster-Background. Really unique. Perfect.
Thanks for this great entry to Saturday´s Workout.
Beautiful rastercard Linda.

Wonderful raster card!
Stunning card. Well done.
stunning is what they are Linda and glad your roast was good, the film was fantastic to and after me saying I did not want to se it, back to the cards I love the bright colours to xx
Both are beautiful. I think maybe the grid pattern is closer to what raster means, but who cares. I think the ones you did are great. My online computer dictionary says this about raster:
A rectangular pattern of parallel scanning lines followed by the electron beam on a TV screen or computer monitor.
It comes from some word meaning "rake."
I don't care what it means, they are both great!
