You could take a look at this maybe it will help.

Despite the name of the post this is just a shader and game1

[Shader] SpriteBatch Alpha Based Stenciling and Texture Scrolling.

Im not sure this is the best name for the effect not sure what its called but i saw it done in another game and wanted to reproduce it as its really cool and pretty simple the method i made that goes with it is also super cool. I had planed to make this about 10x over and never got around to it. Today i did and i figured i would share. As it also serves as a good example of the power of using shaders with spritebatch. So this is a shader that you give to spritebatch begin(, effect,) to draw …

I made this as a example to show how one could do a 2d version of a planet scrolling.
Or a scrolling background behind say a window in 2d.
With transparency and color blending thrown in as well ect.
