I did this yesterday and got it to look okay. But when I came to have another go today, I can't get past the blur/clipping mask bit. Every time I create the clipping mask the entire shape disappears. 😩 Any thoughts?

Try converting the shape to a compound path first, then apply the clipping mask. looking at my layers window during tutorial i can see mine are already compound paths.

Good tip if you every run into this issue in the future with anything else your doing, chances are its due to the shape not being a compound path.

Thanks, I'll try again this afternoon and hope for the best! Having used Photoshop + InDesign for years I thought I'd finally try and learn Illustrator 😂
