Of course as soon as I post the solution pops into my head. I was able to get what I wanted by copying the text, converting to curves, and using that layer to create my outline affect. Then applied the mask to the grouping of the text and curves.

Hello You'll have to excuse me if this is an easy answer, I've looked all over and can't find anything on this. I want to apply a mask to text with an outline. The thing is its applying to the text and not the outline. Like so See, it just fills in the holes. Anyone have any insight on how I can get this to do what I want?
