Can this be successfully done without ruining the paper? I have never used masking fluid before and wanted to alter a piece of paper using a stencil and masking fluid to allow the patterned paper to show through. Is there another technique I should be using?

Can you try it on a scrap piece of PP?
I have seen it done on watercolor paper, but I guess that is thicker.

It should not be a problem. Test it on the back side and see if it takes off any of the color when you rub the masking fluid off

It won't affect the patterned paper. But one time I left the masking fluid on for longer than I should, like 1 day, and it turned the paper yellow. Not bright yellow, but like a dingy yellowish tinge - sort of dirty, antique looking. If that adequately describes it..
I learned to let the stuff dry, do my thing and then use a new eraser to pull it off all within the same day. If my application takes longer than that, I test a scrap piece by masking and letting it sit for 3 days to see if it alters the colors. Some DSP is fine and won't get dingy, while others do get dingy. And sometimes the dingy yellow tint is an added bonus to the project.

UPDATE Janet100 was right, I tested colorless masking fluid on old patterned paper scraps (Paper Pizazz old) and it didn't damage the thin paper in the least. Oh boy the ideas are churning in my head now, can't wait to start playing with this stuff.
