As I described in my comment then, make your masking shape (the center) and another shape around the entire image. Group the two shapes. You now have a shape that is the space between the center and the outside. Use this as your mask.
Like, you only want to keep the center, or you want to remove the center? You can create a shape (lets say a "ring") and use that as your masking shape, and only the space between the inside and outside will be visible after masking.
Great tutorial!
Thank you!
Awesome tip. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
Nice tip, never tried the cut shapes tool! It's just like a cookie cutter, I'm sure I will need it for something later.
Cut shapes is also useful for when you need to re-cut a part of a design (before you move it) in case you hit a glue pocket or whatnot.
Nice
Glad you liked it!
I would like to remove the center.
